UNABLE TO MOVE PLAYER in game : *SOLVED*

ISSUE:
There is a known problem with this game that sometimes when you install it and run it, everything works but when you log into a server the following one or two problems (or both) occur.

1) The enter key is disabled so you cant spawn.
2) If you can spawn, you cant move around, fire weapons etc. You can however use mouse to spin around.

CAUSE:
Certain versions of this game wipes your keyboard profile (the keys you use to control your player in game).

SOLUTION 1
Set up a new custom profile. Fill out the keyboard control settings and use that instead.

In some cases this gets wiped every time you load the game. If so ...

SOLUTION 2

You have to literally go into windows, make sure the  files that holds your keyboard profile data  i.e.
Infantry.con   (controls player)
Air.con            (controls planes)
Common.con
Land.con

which are found here -
C:\program files\ea games\battlefield 1942\mods\bf1942\profiles\custom\controls\

or C:\program files (x86)\ea games\battlefield 1942\mods\bf1942\profiles\custom\controls\

has the read only setting UNCHECKED.

Set Infantry.con with the keys you want to use manually and after youre done, set it to READ ONLY by making sure its CHECKED.

Also make sure Air.con  has the mouse inverted the way you want. I.e. rolling the mouse foward makes plane dive. This problem makes it so that your plane climbs if you push forward instead.
