Desert Combat will not start
I use to play Desert Combat a lot and now I've decided to get back into it. But when I try to start it load a percentage of the map and then shuts down and goes back to windows. I've installed the 1.6 patch and I've also tried variouse versions of Desert Combat including .07, .08, .09, and DC Final. They all are giving me the same problem. I would really appreciate some help, thanks.

Nope, not a HW issue.
Try installing BF1942 v1.6b---'b' being a small patch to 1.6. That fixes this issue for most folks.
With pleasure! Your problem is that during the time you did not use your game, you have added more items and your hard disk is getting overwritten. What you need to do is to look at the size of your game and figure how much memory you need. Your only choice is that you look at all your programs and decide which ones you can spare erasing. If you are a little handy, you cna go to the local used computer parts and buy a hard disk of at least 160 GB. All computers have provision for a second hard disk. Turn off your computer and then pull the line cord. Make sure that the "new" drive is set at "slave" and then install it connecting all connections with care. When you turn your computer on, at the start, on the upper left corner, it will identify the "new" drive and name it "D:\" most of the time, or choose another letter. Then you will have two drives with sufficient memory. Install whatever you want. Caution: during the installation of any program, the manufacturer, being used to microsoft, will ask you if you want the program installed to "C:\xxx". You need to tell the computer to change from C:\ (this is known as C-Drive) to the "new" Letter Drive, chosen by your computer. If the computer gives funny performance, change BOTH DRIVES to "Cable Select". Good Luck! Thank you for your consideration and choice to our service! CONSTANTIN (arzconst)
