Battlefield 1942 slow

Jul 25, 2007 4:03AM PDT

My game Battlefield 1942 was working fine and fast with all of the settings at maximum. The load times were fast. But after I installed a mod of the Internet, all my mods and even the base game are taking forever to load, and sometimes never load at all. I took off the mod I downloaded, that didn't work, set all the settings to lowest setting, didn't work, took off all the expansions and mods, didn't work, tried shutting off all the non-essential background tasks, that didn't work. Completely uninstalled and deleted game folder, reinstalled game w/expansions only, and STILL didn't work

Specs:

BF 1942 1.61 (after I install patches, CD version 1.3, expansions upgrade it automatically to 1.45)

AMD Sempron 2600+ (1.83 GHZ)
768 MB Ram
100 GB HD (win xp partition. Other partitions have other OS's on them)
Nvidia GE-FORCE FX 5500 256MB Video Card
Joystick Saitek ST290 Pro
52X CD writer (game CD drive)
16X DVD ROM

Help will be praised
