This is just a wild guess, but do you have a firewall like ZoneAlarm ? Every time I update the game, Zonealarm tends to try to pop up a dialog asking whether it's ok for the (changed) bf1942 executable to access the internet. When this happens, I get the same problem : black screen (dialog is invisible) and looks like a lock up. In reality the program is waiting for an answer to that hidden dialog. Try shutting down your firewall and see if that helps.
