Im sure people here could help you out, if you could be specific about your issues with playing the game? Are you having issues with the install, or have you already done the install but the game crashes?..

Hey, I don't want to sound harsh, but did you try searching, say at google, for this error message? I did and here is what came up:

Hopefully you can find your answer in those posts.

Do you have SP2? Seems like I heard BF wouldn't run if SP2 was installed. But I read so many threads don't quote me..

Find the EA folder, then BFV folder. Then Mod folder, then BFV folder again. Open the settings folder, then open the VideoDefault.con file in notepad.

Replace this line: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0

With: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

yes.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\VideoDefault.con

Edit in same way. Note: make sure you are running latest patches. Update your bios to the latest version and run the latest video drivers for the 9700 from either Sager or Omega.
