Alright. So me and my friend have been troubleshooting this for months, but to no avail. It seems to me we have tried everything to get his debugger working, but it won't even launch.
No log from the debugger, nothing from the Windows Event Viewer. He also turned of the Data Execution Prevention (DEP), turned off his anti-virus (ESET), Windows Smartscreen and I suppose he also tried his best to bypass/turn off User Account Control.
Yes, he is administrator, as it's his computer and he is the only user on it. However, strangely enough it works on his laptop, but not his desktop.
He even tried transfering his Battlefield 1942 installation from his laptop to his desktop but not even that helped.
So, we are pretty much close to give up… until I knew I had yet to ask the master minds over here at Team-Simple
Well, does anybody have a clue what it could be? the "bf1942_r.exe" isn't as said launching at all. It's like he never double-clicked it.
...
Did you make it as described?

And then start it as administrator.

On another site they say "Disable Fullscreen" in Video_Default.con.

I checked with my friend… been there, done that...
I think the BF1942 debugger needs a virtual or physical CD/DVD drive installed. It is a copy protection left from original BF1942.exe. It checks for any drive, if there isn't any, it won't launch without giving any warning.

That’s an interesting theory, I’ll try it out.

Hmm… if I remember correctly, my friend's desktop has no optical device in it... I'll ask him about this as well.
Much so, I did the same steps... I deactivated my optical devices, and very much so. The debugger won't launch at all. Well, I guess the problem is solved then. Thanks tuia!
So thats why it didnt work, thanks tuia! I just tried a virtual cd drive and that worked fine. (this is small and free) https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/

How does this work when trying to use the Debugger?

Its one easy way to get around the cd drive problem. One can use any iso file you happen to have on the computer.

Tried it today, works like a charm. Thanks bud.
With windwos 8 and higher you can just mount a ISO-file with double clicking on it.

Yes I mounted my C-Drive then started the debugger that way.
