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).

    I thought you were onto something there with your suggestion to alter the config file but it didn't work for me. It just won't start properly on my Win 7 laptop. Just keeps coming back to  the desktop. OR, if I use compatability mode set to Win XP service pack 2 or 3, the game starts to the point of the Mohaa console coming up, then program crashes and must be closed. (I have tried all WinXP settings and no go with the others either). Any advice would be appreciated. Here are my specs:

    Hp DV6700 laptop (original Vista 64 bit machine) upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit  Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 7601

    HP Bios version F33   3/22/2010

    4 GB ram installed

    Amd Turion TL-64 X2  2.2 ghz

    Nvidia Geforce 7150 / nforce 630M 128mb ram (system adjustable up to 1.4 gb ram?)

    HDD  Samsung H160HI ATA Device

    i don't know that it was the hard way. i mean, i had the same issues when i tried to install it to my 7 64-bit machine. i just installed it to my xp 32-bit machine and copied the whole folder from xp to 7 and whammo... the game runs fine... :::shrugs:::

    note: i did run the configure.exe which is in the main folder after i copied it over to 7
