Battlefield 1942 woes

[Flt.Lt.Andrew]

Hey,

I recently reformatted my disk and replaced (under warranty) my disc drive (thanks, Dell.). I installed BF42 without a hitch, but when I come to play it, the thing loads up, the screen goes black then it returns to the desk top. Any ideas?

Thanks,


A.

Did you try the disk on another computer? It might be bad..... I've had a few go rotten on me over the years! Cheers, Gunny

Patching! Now that's one I haven't tried.
Yeah, I think I have spotted a scratch, now you mention it Gunny!

Thanks guys,
