Ok, well I have updated to Windows 7 and done a fresh install of 1942, i followed the forum links and downloaded pb, and the other updates but still cannot get into game. I can open up the game, find all the servers then when i try and connect to a server it will bring up the loading bar, load fully, then crash out to desktop with no kick error or notification.
Ive even downloaded the other patches on the forum from Tank etc and followed dodgems instructions for win 7 just incase I wasn't shaking the hand that is pb correctly, but still no luck and I'm missing me some bf42!!
Any help will of course be appreciated,
Lu

1) Right click BF42 short cut and look at compatibility tab
2) Change to service pack 3 and click on check mark.
This is what we did for Piggy and it worked like a charm.
Good luck,

Win7 runs smoothly once everything is set-up correctly.

I did notice however after a system restart at the game would crash again during a map load and I had to my method to get it to load correctly again.
I did my method and use the compatibility method and ATL+Tab'ed during both and had no problems.
Just for comparison:
Win 7 Pro installed on a SSD
BF42 on a HDD 1TB 32MB cache 7200RPM
2x2GB RAM
9800GT

Make sure that you follow the steps in previous posts in this thread for setting the compatability mode of the game. Also check the little check box on the same dialog to run the game as administrator.
The CD-key error is occurring because you are trying to rejoin a server too quickly after you crash while loading. The server itself doesn't see that you have disconnected until after a brief period of time, so if you crash and immediately try to join a server, Battlefield thinks you're already in game. It has nothing to do with you having a bad key, it's just associated to the crash. It happens to me all of the time.

For the CPU tab just pay attention to the line that says Specification.
Mainboard tab: Manufactor and Model lines
SPD tab: Go through each Slot from the pull down and until you see some information, then look at...
Manufactor and Max Bandwidth.
Gaphics tab: GPU->Name and if need be the Memory->Size
To get your OS information: Start->Control Panel->System
