"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).

Hello,

I am having similar problems installing/uninstalling MOHAA.

After installing and facing a black screen on startup of game I decided to uninstall and start over.

Now, every time the game disc is inserted into DVD drive it asks if I want to Modify/Repair/Uninstall and none of these 3 options does anything.

I have deleted all files from the Program Files folder and the links have been deleted from the start menu.

Perhaps someone could assist in helping me completely remove remnants of MOHAA from my laptop in order to attempt to start fresh again.

I have tried to locate registry entries as is suggested from Google searches but the entries do not exist.

Running Acer Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Thanks,

J

So , its not hard to do, u have the disc of the game how i understand , then open ur disc , not the autorun ,but to see the files in it , then creat a folder on ur desctop and copy all the installation files that u have in disc to that folder , then change the compatibility all of the .exe files in that folder (besides the directX ,you must have at least June 2010) to XP SP2 and Administrator run , then install the game from that folder , after that change the compatibility of the icon/shortcut of the game on the desktop again to XP SP2 and Admin run. its too easy , i cant understand how u managed not to do it.
