"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).

Thanks, mate. Accepted, and appreciated. It's easy to get frustrated with games and computers in general. Some people come in guns blazing with their first post. I've been yelling at Steam quite

a bit today (Not on the forums, just the at the setup on the machine not playing nice),

and I can appreciate you may be in a stressful situation in general.

About the only other thing I can suggest at the moment, is not installing to the default location -

Program Files (X86).

I don't know if it helps with this game as I install all games to another HDD or partition, and it is

mostly helpful with permissions issues, but it is a useful trick for some games and may be worth

a try. Just make a new folder in C:\ and install games to a sub-folder in that if you don't have another

Partition.

If you are able to upload a screen-shot to Skydrive it may help with troubleshooting.

Just leave us a link .

Do you have other games running properly ?

@ HH - If the games .exe has Compatibility set the rest is automatic. There is no need to trawl

through the whole game, or change the shortcut.

The most effective way to use Compatibility is to change compatibility in the installer (setup.exe)

on the games disk and install using Compatibility.
