Ok fellas help needed.....I had to format PC just the other day, and thought hey I'll put Win 7 on my machine, installed 1942 all the updates,patches and mods.....went on line....after 5mins PB kicks me....message evenbalance update PB......went and downloaded PB update, ran it.....add game to be updated....1942 isn't even on the drop down list. Took my firewall off still the same,I have no other anti virus software on my PC.

Re: Windows 7 Aghhhhh!!!!!
Hey Geordie,
just saw your thread and thought it would be a good time for a first post for me. I had the same trouble when I upgraded to win7 and what Badger says was the solution to my problems back then.
But I ran into another one a couple of month ago after an reinstall -> evenbalance no longer supports bf1942 and as far as I know doesn´t host those files you need for an manual update (or update via pbsetup.exe) anymore.
I found an German bf community that still offers the update files in form of an exe file available here:
http://www.bf-games.net/download/2789/p ... O1zMZ6ILVw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The page is in German but the installer runs in English as well ~ tell me if anyone needs a translation!
A short description can be found here:
http://translate.googleusercontent.com/ ... C3r0l6-4Xg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I suggest everyone should get the file or backup their pb directory for later reinstalls!
Ok...I hope it helps ~ see you all on the server!

Good idea, That's what saved me on Win 7. I copied my pb directory from my XP boxbut@fly wrote: I suggest everyone should get the file or backup their pb directory for later reinstalls!
