Medal of Honor & radeon 9700 Pro.
Hello kindly folk. Here's my problem. A few days ago my system, PIV 3.0c,
Abit IC7-G and Radeon Pro 9700, suffered a major crash causing some of my XP system files to be obliterated. Thus it became necessary to restore my system with a savd image using Acronis True Image. After tinkering with my RAM timings my system is now stable and everything works fine except Medal of Honour. This crashes to the desktop whilst loading the the first map. All our other games work just fine. These include Vietcong, FS2004, CFS 3 and all run well. Before the crash I had no problem with MOH, Allied Assault, Spearhead or Breakthrough prior to thr crash. All ran well. I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem, including the following. Tried Catalyst 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8. On each fresh install I've carefully uninstalled the older drivers and scoured and clean the registry for ATI entries. I've re-installed Directx 9b and the Intel chipset drivers. I've uninstalled and re-installed MOH a few times. I've also tried using safe mode and a variety of graphic options in the game. I've also tried getting help from the MOH support site but have had no reply. Forgive the long post but below is the error log from MOH. Is it possible that some kind soul out there may have a helpful suggestion. **ERROR PlaySound: snd_step_stone needs an alias in ubersound.scr or uberdialog.scr - Please fix.

Try using system restore to go back to a time when it was working. You can
always undo the restore afterwards if that didn't work so there is no risk and it's a fast easy check. If that doesn't work, you may want to try reinstalling WinXP over the top of itself. That will put back any missing or corrupted system files which sounds like is your problem. -Tim "h2so4" wrote in message ... Hello kindly folk. Here's my problem.

try deleting\renaming your unnamedsoldier.cfg file should cause you to have
to reconfigure your graphics sound & controls etc, also you might want to try running system file checker sfc.exe to restore any corrupted system files "h2so4" wrote in message ... Hello kindly folk.

That will put back any missing or corrupted system files which sounds like is your problem. I can't use system restore as I had to reload a ghosted image of my drive from an earlier time, i.e., before I had installed MOH. If I re-nstall XP over my existing version, I presume I'll have to re-install Directx, the SP1 and other patches and my USB devices. If I have to go that far perhaps a complete re-install of XP and the system might be a better investment of time. However, I'd like to avoid that for now. Thanks for you suggestions. |

I ran sfc as you suggested. As far as I know just the one file was repaired. I'll try deleting my unnamedsoldier file. Thank you. |

I got this fixed. Just in case anyone wants to know how, I did the
following. I carried out a thorough registry search for ATI enties and found many. Some referred to the CAT 3.4s and others to the 3.7s. I then re-installed the 3'8s but this didn't solve the problem. I then ran Nortons Windoctor that found five invalid shortcuts related to ATI drivers and control panel so I deleted these. Still MOH would not run. I then uninstalled MOH and the add ons and ran Nortons again. More invalid shortcuts were found and deleted. I re-installed MOH and BINGO! it ran, but with artifacts (I noticed these artifacts also in Battlefield 1942 -- an opengl issue)?. I then went to the ATI control panel and disabled VPU recover and the alternative DVI feature. I then did a repair install of Breakthrough. Problem solved MOH runs well without glitches. Now I'm sure that in the above somewhere there was a simple solution but I'm damned if I know what it was. |
