Missing 800x600 Resolution for the InGameMenu i guess.

Look first if you can activate 800x600 otherwise add a custom resolution 800x600.

Btw. Activating global Adminrights on Windows 10 is realy a bad idea.

Just Bf1942.exe and Blackscreen.exe need admin rights and the best is not to install the game into "ProgrammFiles", but as example C:\Games \Gamename as you should do it with older games.

Re: Hellp: bf1942 wont launch in my new laptop win10 bit64

every file with extension .con inside the MODS folder I edited the resolution line this way:

game.setGameDisplayMode 1024 768 32 60

my game folder is :

"D:\dal pc vecchio\Battlefield 1942 HDx\BF1942.exe"

Im trying to make the HD version work.

Cool man!  I love you! that did the trick...

"3. Use Custom Resolutions/Modes for Intel Graphics driver"

I set a custom resolution in the Intel panel (nvidia control panel only shows 3d settings) to 800x600 60p htz.

The game started... but I think I will uninstall and install it again as I messed around a lot  with .con settings and the bf1942.exe
Seems a bit slow, mouse very sensitive, framerate a bit low... any suggestion?
I can see Simple servers though...

maybe a bit off topic but I tried creating a new player profile but wont me allow to create one... has it ever happened? Can I create one manually in the game folder in a similar fashion to video.con ?

Try copying/editing files in the Custom folder (create that folder if necessary)

This is because you installed it into "C:\Program Files\..."

Battlefield is an old game and Windows 10 is highly restricted in "Program Files".

So install old Games into C:\Games\OldgameXX

Open console during playing with ` (tilde) key, type "fps 1" without quotes and press Enter. After that you'll see your FPS in the upper left corner - post it here.

Check if C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\Battlefield 1942\ folder exists. If it does, delete it and try to create a new profile again
