Battlefield 1942 Frustration!!!

Big frustration!

I just built a new PC for my son:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD XP 2400+
RADEON 9000 Pro 128MB
Samsung 120MB SATA HD
256MB PNY DDR PC2100
420W Raidmax case/PSU
Cyberdrive 32x CDRW

After install, when attempting to launch the game...Splash screen comes
up for a few seconds, CD drive spins, then NOTHING. No error message or fault. Not
running in background. I have installed latest patch w/o any improvement.

I contacted EA Games support...Suggested closing all background processes, adjusting audio hardware acceleration, patching, checking DX9 intstallation. I even edited the default video refresh text file. Nothing has worked!

I have searched the web & found a couple of other people w/ this problem...But no solution is posted.

The game works fine on my Abit KG7-R, XP2100+, R9800 Pro system.

Does anyone have an idea?
 
Hrm, I'm guessing it Video Card related. Can you take the 9800 out of your other machine and swap it with the problem system and see if it loads up. If then, you might have a faulty card. Does it load anything else up?
 
I had this problem at a friends house a few nights ago. Turned out to be a gamepad (playstation w/ usb adaptor) that was causing the crash. I doubt this could be your problem but it just shows that it could be many differnet things.
 
The card worked fine on my PC before I bought the 9800 Pro. He plays Warcraft & Morrowind OK. I am planning to try Call of Duty on it this weekend.
 
I think you need more memory. Mine with 512MB PC2100 and it runs just fine. Your video is fine.
 
i had this problem once when i was editing maps. for some reason, there was an extra map file or something in the maps directory (mods/somethingsomething/archive) and the game would start and close right away. vanilla 42 wouldnt load, but desert combat would. i kept deleting files until it loaded. i THINK that was the solution =) another thing might have been theh init.con file, there was something in there that stopped vanilla from loading.

make sure you have the latest drivers for theh 9000 so that you have hardware T&L. if you dont have taht, it wont run, i think.

i would try to reinstall and see if that helps at all. i have no idea what this would do, but maybe try a nocd crack.
