Desert Combat Load Problems

[Ash!]

Just upgraded the drivers for my nforce 2 Mobo. Dessert Combat will not load. I open it up throught the start menu. Click on it and tries to load. Brings up the BF1942 Screen then just goes back to windows without loading.

I have tried loading through BF1942 and again it doesnt do it.

System is Win XP Pro, Leadtek nForce2 mobo XP2200 & 1 Gig DDR Ram

Any suggestions on getting it going again ??

I have a problem with DC too, it's terrible.

Try using a shortcut;

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game DesertCombat

If that doesnt work, do you have any extra maps you've downloaded, or extra add-ons that you've put into DC, that arent included in the .38 release?

If you also wouldnt mind checking your log file, it may give you a hint as too what is wrong. You can find that in your \Battlefield 1942\mods\BF1942\Logs directory. Either post the whole log here, or the last few lines.

For some reason there is little info in the DC Log

You'll need the log from the BF1942 folder aswell.
