Memtest 86 should NOT be taking that long. One thing to remember though is that it loops--it was likely at 20% on the 7th or 8th loop. It should take between 30 minutes and an hour to run the full test.

Try installing on another machine. If it runs there, then it is something on your machine. I seem to recall people having lots of problems with BF1942, but what you have is a little extreme. If you cant get it running on another machine, call EA and see if you can get them to either send you another copy or refund your money.
