All I can suggest is to completely uninstall the game and start over. Sucks but thats what PC gaming is all about....

I have Battlefield 1942 Deluxe Edition. It's installed fine from XP to Vista to Win 7 (plus several hardware combinations) with no problems. I'd say the TC's problem could be disc read errors which could be blemishes on the disc or something else.

Its definitely a disk read error.
