What do I do when I get an Invalid CD Key message? (#7278)
There are three things you can do:

• First, try the clearing your Internet Temp Files and History:
1) Click on Tools in on you internet explorer
2) Click on internet options
3) Click on the 'delete files' under Temporary internet files.

Also clear your internet history

1) Click on Tools in internet explorer
2) Click on internet options
3) Click on 'clear history' under History

**You may have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect**

If the trouble still exists, this indicates an error in the Windows registry due to a bad or corrupted install.

• Only if you are comfortable with the altering registry, you can reenter the CD Key. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\ergc and re-enter the key.

• Try uninstalling the game completely, then before reinstalling delete the original game directory. Run Defrag and Scandisk. After the previous steps, reinstall the game and immediately patch it.

What should I do when I get a CD Key in use message? (#7279)
Make sure that you never give anyone your CD key. If you gave your key to another person and they log in, you will not be able to play on the Internet.

If you have never given your CD key to anyone and only have one system connected to the internet and are receive the “CD key in use” message.
Try the following:

1) Click on Tools in on you internet explorer
2) Click on internet options
3) Click on the “delete files” under Temporary internet files.

Also clear your internet history

1) Click on Tools in your internet explorer
2) Click on internet options
3) Click on “clear history” under History

**You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect**

Why does it kick me to the destkop when I start BF? (#7757)
It is mostly caused by your refresh rate not being set correctly. Find the file called "VideoDefault.con" in this directory \Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings. Open it then find the line that has "renderer.allowAllRefreshRates", if it has a '0' be sure to change it to '1'.
