Maybe you should try running those games as admin, also you could try running xp compatibility mode. I have Vista and 8800gtx and run those games with no problem.

Is it able to run any other games using the card, or is this problem unique to BF1942?

You also have to run it as windowsxp. Otherwise, it doesn't work right.

thanks to every one so far, ok here's the latest...

right click exe. windows xp compatability mode, tried sp2, sp1, 2000 and even win98, open as admin etc.

It wont play Ghost Recon AWF either, that shuts down and says
( Crash in application version: srpcrl .02 Failed setting up render device. )

could it be that it dosn't like the GeForce 8500gt card ? it is a tad dated..?

The card is fine. It's not outdated. The failing to set up a render device could possibly be a graphics driver issue, or something to do with DirectX.
