Open ...\Battlefield 1942\Mods\BF1942\Settings\VideoDefault.con with Notepad, change first 1 to 0 and save the file. Then try to run the game, it may show the reason of crash

Is it a Laptop or a PC?

If a Laptop then it could be a Optimus Problem.

If, then > nVidiaControlPanel > 3D Settings > ProgramSettings > Battlefield 1942 > Force nVidia (instead of Auto).
