BF1942 + win7, bf1942 started to crash...

Hi mates!

Well, still today i playe bf1942 with win7 (compatibility winxp sp3 and administrator) and everything worked fine.
But today, when i try to connect, my bf1942 exe crashes every time.
ONLY mods are working ,like battlegroup 42, i can join to the server...

Any ideas?

Do a system restore choose a date when he still worked.

You can collate the last Windows updates in appwiz.cpl and also there can be a problem in the last driver updates for your sound or video adapter.

Try to close all programs
Those in red you should not close it can damage.

and run the game again.

OK!
Maybe i am close to fix this.
I thought about my work and i noticed that i tried to work in battlecraft with the Pirates mod! So i checked the maplist in the bf1942 menu and the BFP maps are there! But they have to show up in the map list only under Pirates mod.
So i think i mixed something up, so i am on my way to fix this ...

Result:

The Battlefield Pirates mod's maps somehow detected in the vanilla BF1942 maplist, but don't know why and how (maybe battlecraft 42 editor did something).
So, i deleted Pirates, and the problem fixed!!!

Edification: do not mix the maps of the mods, mod maps go to their mods not vanilla!

I found the wrong line :

rem Battlecraft 1942 added this command in order to generate lightmaps for this MOD
game.addModPath Mods/Pirates/

This line was in my init.con, under bf1942 folder and this makes my bf42 crashed ...
