Hi Karen,

Did you have the game previously installed? Perhaps you didn't
uninstall it correctly. Try using the "Remove" option first, then
reboot and run the setup.exe program by browsing that CD. :-)

The EA Tech help also says to delete the following registry keys (or make sure they are
deleted after the game or especially the demo is removed) and then do a clean install.

>>PASTE From EA Games tech

In these cases a clean install will be desired. Try uninstalling the game using either the
shortcut in the Start menu or from Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel. If the
game does not properly uninstall you can take the following steps to manually remove the
game from your computer.

1. Right click and Delete the games directory and any Demos of the Original game or the
Spearhead Expansion pack.
By default this will be C:\Program Files\EA Games\Medal Of Honor Allied Assault.
The Medal of Honor Demo: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Medal Of Honor Allied Assault Demo.
The Spearhead expansion demo: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Medal of Honor Allied Assault
Spearhead Demo

2. Now load the registry editor. Go to Start -> Run -> type in "regedit" (without the
quotes).

3. There is a registry folder that causes this and must be removed. It is found in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\

You must then select and delete the folders named below found in that above location:
{823A68CC-3049-4A6B-8F63-7DC85E4BB1C9}
{0DEA94ED-915A-4834-A87E-388D012C8E02}

You may also see this key if you had the demo installed:
{54B228DC-4B49-4AF7-B3C6-AA612CD14A83}

Delete these folders, then close the registry editor, and reinstall the original game.
After installation of the Original Medal of Honor, proceed with the installation of the
Spearhead Expansion.

I have looked over the system information included with your email and it
: appears that you are in need of an different driver for your video card. Go
: to the following website and folow the simple instructions to download the
: 4523 version of the drivers. These are not the newest drivers but they work
: best with your video card. Do not download the newest drivers as they have
: shown to work unreliably with your version of Geforce.

>>END PASTE

I have a NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 video card and certianly this earlier driver (45.23) is
better than the "latest" one

Hi Frenchy,

It's been my personal experience that the latest driver version 52.16
works as well, and in most cases better than the older 45.23 driver.
Set a restore point on your system, and see for youself! :-)

Nope, I have been there with the latest (not that there was any specific problem with
52.16), just that MOHAA was better with 45.23 and note that EA recommended this as well.

Seems 52.16 is written more for the 5 series of cards?

delete the EA games file, that might help your problem
C drive, program file, EA GAMES

how do i uninstall medal of honor it will not uninstall
completely so that i can install it again. I can not take
it out or install it.

I would reccomend start/control panel/add,remove programs
however sometimes the add remove file is defective. In
this case IAnd dont do this too often you lose hard drive
space, go to start/my computer/program files/EA games
Medal of honor, and put all files in the recylcle bin,
and then empty recycle bin.
