But you can play until you press Escape?

Perhaps you can try installing the game in another folder then "Program Files", (as example C:\Games\ ...). (Program Files is restricted Zone).

Then Check Documents Folder for "Battlefield 1942" Folder and delete that.

...

I guess you allready activated DirectPlay in Windows 10.  (Optional Features)

...

yeah i can play till i press escape and i uninstalled the game and installed it once again and of course was greeted with no changes

im sorry i have a smooth brain and i dont know what youre talking about

I think this game may be a bit over your capacity, you could consider playing something from this page instead. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/instal … indows-10/

holy crap i know someone did windows essentials on win 10 but i didnt know they did win 7 games too
thanks i guess

Can be the lack of compatibility mode "Run as admin" for "Blackscreen exe" in the MainGameFolder.
