I've read and read and read...what am I doing wrong?

Regarding 1942. I just read 4 pages worth, a couple FAQs, here and I'm still unable to start the game.

I extracted idx-bf12.rar using winrar 3.x and ie6.0

Installed the game

put the bf1942.exe and bf1942.org in the EA GAMES/Battlefield 1942 directory. Ask to replace bf1942.exe: "yes"

Now here is where I get confused: It states to put the mod.dll in the Battlefield 1942/MODS/BF1942 directory. Are you supposed to create the MODS/BF1942 folders to place the mod.dll in? That is what I did. Created two new folders. If the MOD directory is supposed to already be there, pleasetell me this.

When I do as stated above, it won't start...just hangs for second.

I heard that the frequency refresh rates are different between the game and your normal video settings, and you have to manually adjust them to do this.

Someone stated that its under the MODS directory once again. But the only thing there is the mod.dll file I put there and LOGS folder which is automatically created when you first attempt to start the game. There are no ext.s I can open with wordpad and adjust the refresh rate.

I know these threads get old so I'm trying lay my problems out as best I can with as much info as possible.

Thanks for your help.
