Game stopped suddenly

I have the game Battlefield 1942 and its expansion pack road to Rome.  It has suddenly stopped working and I don't know why.  Me and the rest of my family have not knowingly changed any settings.  I have updated the video drivers but it has made no difference.  All that happpens when I try to start the game is that the logo appeares and dissaperes as normal, but the game does not then load itself up.  Could we have unknowingly changed an option on the computer to prevent it from working.  If anyone has had the same problem, please tell me how you resolved it !!!

Try reinstalling the game and get the 1.6 patch.

Download the patch first to see if that works.  Then uninstall and reinstall the game if it doesn't.  This is a game you don't want to be without for too long
