i installed mohaa to a native windows xp 32-bit machine and copied the whole installation folder over to a 7 64-bit machine.

before running the game i ran the configure.exe located in the main install folder then boom.

"Game won't even start..."

Assuming you are using the  disk based version of the game, your problem would be from a new source.

A malware introduced by MS with Win10 called DRM Blocking , and subversively installed to Win7/8/8.1 via

Windows Updates, that tries to prevent  people from playing hundreds of disk based games.

This game has a file on disk 2 titled secdrv.sys which is targetd by DRM Blocking.

I have a long rant, and options for bypassing the DRM Blocking   --here--  .

  • Using a noCD circumvents both DRM Blocking and the CD check - medal-honor-allied-assaultI used to use this noCD for MOH-AA before I bought the download version with the two expansion packs from

Good Old Games  ( Normally $10 USD, but $5- USD or less when a sale is on).

ah yes ---- install on my Dell XPS Laptop was a pain --- kept crashing, folders missing... until now.

As noted above, copied EAGAMES folder from my Windows XP desktop onto my XPS laptop.

Placed the folder in C Drive, program files (not x86).

Run configure.exe located in mohaa/main folder... and boom.. works like a charm...well, so far so good

Thanks

Wouldn't have thought that necessary. I was able to install MOH-AA with no compatibility

settings on Win7 64bit.

It may be because I don't install to the default directory - Program Files (x86).

Aside from that all I can think of that may be different is patching the game, and having the Windows updates all installed (except the 'optional'  updates).

    BossDweeb,

    This worked for me instantaneously, just as you said.  I was sure a Windows update had been the culprit, but you pinpointed it for me.  May I suggest that you spread  your fix to a larger audience.  It was not until I figured out that it was a compatibility issue and googled that, that I came to your post here.  There seems to be so many people out there with this same problem.  You have the answer!

    good to see you again BOSS and sure i totally get it and i do believe you are correct after a quick chrome search. 7/8/8.1 is good to go.. he should be able to get the game rolling on his os.. i'm deep in win 10 though and i know for a fact that the nocd cracks are viri infested websites. (don't ask; years of gaming) but in my case i think i'd have to buy it again (which isn't an issue) but i haven't played mohaa in such a long time i doubt i would.. shame they make ya buy the game again without drm (safedisc/securom) especially after all the pouting that all the gamers did AGAINST drm in the first place.

    anyway...

    happy new year to you Dweebe! :)
