Hi Guys, I have a problem with loading up a new 50 dollar game, MOH Airborne. Here's the story:
I had a succesful load, and started up the game. ( I do have more than the minimun hardware required). When I started to load the first campaign game, it started flashing back and forth between the desktop, and a partial black screen partially covering the desk top. Music was still playing, but locked up at this point.
I thought I had a viideo card driver issue, since I was using a Beta driver for my 7600 GS Nvidia card. I installed the latest driver. I tried the game again. This time, just got a complete black screen and not flashing back and forth between the desktop and a smaller black screen.
As I was scratching my head over this, I decided to look at my sound card drivers. Downloaded the latest driver, but in my haste to delete the older driver, I deleted some other sound card devices. I didn't like where things were going, so I decided to do a system restore to the day before...
System restore worked, and I got the video card and sound card components and drivers working well.
Back to the game. After the restore, I coudn't find the game .exe file to start the game and it wasn't listed in the Add/Remove Programs list, although some components and files are in a EA games folder. I put the DVD in, and started to try and install the game again. Here is the problem now:
It gets to the "End Users Agreement" page, and hangs up. Just get an hour glass when I try to click on the "agree" box. I hear a lot of hard drive noise, and it just sits there. The hour glass goes away after maybe a minute, but if I try to scroll to read the agreement, or click on the box, it just hangs again.
I'm not getting any errors?
I've checked the MOH support web page. There are problems, but nothing quite like this. I emailed MOH support with a "dxdiag" information and waiting for a response.
Any ideas?
