MUAHAHAHA...!!! I'm BAAAACK! Spent last 2 days assembling the comp. pieces and parts that were on that list. Went very slow and CAREFUL. Then went to the site Swanny mentioned and got Win 7 for cheap and it WORKS. Now I'm starting the programs installation and general tweeking. Awful tedious but kin...

Holy cow Swanny! I had no idea such places existed. I mean now that I think about it, the software place is a no brainer. Kind of a slap your palm to your forehead and roll your eyes kind of obvious. I use my software till it's used up. For those who have to have the latest though, selling their 2 y...

I had completely forgotten about that Monty P skit. LOL Thanks Cheese. Now if I could just remember why I still dream about dead parrots... I told my wife what you said about the game keeping me busy and suddenly she's on board with this project. Strange. I used to say "damn lazy cattle". ...

Just wanted to say I've been absent from Desert Combat because very old comp finally died. I had kept it running the last few years by cannibalizing other old computers (3 children so always an unused "old" comp around) but the motherboard has apparently quit. Swapping cpu didn't help and ...

Just letting you know the latest. Used the standard uninstall to remove BF 1942. Then reinstalled along with the correct patches and the abnormality persisted. :cry: I noticed my custom keying for the game controls was still there so the uninstall didn't remove that. Plan on doing another standard u...

Holy shit!! Well...as much fun as the Process Monitor sounds...I think a reinstall might be less "fun" though I am always reluctant to reinstall something this old. I am not so reluctant now since I feel I that if I have trouble I know where to get some good coaching. So I'll go with the r...

I tried a different disk and no difference. I tried adding +game DesertCombat and no difference. I tried starting from the .exe file in the folder and no difference. I tried going with a new name and profile...no diff. When a map starts, I get a 100% transparent map, black crosshair, and the map rot...

Thanks Trench. Guess I'll have to be more respectful in game. :D I am using CD to play (same CD I have used since the game first came out). A problem with the CD?? That doesn't seem possible. Have checked all the GeneralOptions.con files I can find (especially the one you suggested) and none are mar...

Every single map I now have to reset the crosshair color and static/not static minimap settings. When the map starts I escape out and go to: Options Customize This gets me to the screen that allows customizing crosshair color, selecting static or not static minimap, etc... After setting the crosshai...

Well phoey! Still can't get past the "kicked from server" message and I've tried everything I can think of except re-installing the game. Last time I re-installed was probably 5 or 6 years ago and all I can find is disk 2. Sht, I may have to go back to BF2.....if there are still people pla...

Yes, I was kidding Swanny (bald people are SO sensitive). :D I just tried again and still "kicked from server". I can connect normally to other servers and my PB box is "checked". Have restarted comp and run some diagnostics. Not finding the problem. Starting to have some game wi...

Yep, still a problem. Just tried. "Kicked From Server". Don't think the server crashed because I could still see it and see who was on it, and the scores were changing in a normal fashion. Someone had been main camping (42 I think) so I might have been kicked/banned by mistake.

When map switched to Aberdeen I was not able to join. Kept getting "Kicked from server". So I tried other servers. Can connect just fine. During the map before Aberdeen I had suggested scalping Swanny, just joking of course, but (since he's bald :D ) I may have insulted him. Did I get bann...

Hey guys thanks for letting us know. If something like this happens again PLEASE let us know via the AdminRequest thread or you can PM me and it will go directly to my phone. I have seen Moishe do such things but it was a one time incident so I let it go. Thanks again for letting us know. Those act...

I felt comments (text) from "Moishe" and "O G Drey" became too hostile in a racist manner on Wed., May 23rd at about 7:45PM Central Time (Texas time). There were no Admins available at the time. I have seen Moishe get very anti German (venting his hatred of Germans on a game serv...
