Just got mine running, no problems.

Installed game
Patched game
copied over my old pb folder (renamed the "new" one just in case)
Changed desktop shortcut to run as Administrator
Allowed Punkbuster B file (in PB folder) to run as Administrator (right click, choose Properties)
Copied entire (unstarted) BF1942 folder to another location for safekeeping and to shorten reinstall time
Did not copy over custom settings, I'm having to put them back in

Started game...let it run for an hour, no problems. Went in later to observe a player and again...no problems.

Wishing you luck on your hot new system, Cap'n!

Thanks LIN!!!!

You are very welcome my friend, but this advice came straight from the Monkey, I was texting with him while I was installing, so I'll pass the thanks on to him.

Also, we have a few pb folders running around here in case you need one.

Oh, and I think you might also need to run the 1942.exe as Administrator...I still keep getting asked if it's ok to run the game...I just changed that so we'll see how it affects things here.

Also try running it in Windows NT compatability. Mine kept crashing till I put it that way.

Dont forget to save the registry-entry with the key.
It is crazy how many having problems with bf under win7.

I was going to suggest overheating as a possible cause but your system shouldn't even be breaking a sweat running BF1942 so it's unlikely. It can't hurt to check so if you don't already have it try running an app to monitor your temps.

Try CPUID HWMonitor.

Hey Everyone

My problem is back. I had to reinstall everything again. Something is still screwed up with windows 7. It fails to update and does random stuff. Games still crashed and I get disconnect at random. I have tried everything listed above. My latest fix is reinstall the lan driver before I play. I have updated everything I can. From motherboard driver and utilities to video drivers to windows updates. Help

In that case, and if nothing else is affected, maybe it is your modem or router overheating. I've had a similar problem and the other day it happened again when someone opened the blinds and the sun was shining right on those two units and warming them up. The network was out for about 20 minutes until they cooled down.

I go back to overheating as a cause because you mention it takes a certain time before it happens and it seems to be similar each time.
