Thread Question:

I have encountered a terrible problem. with MOHPA. When the start menu loads, the game crashes to desktop. My PC specs are..

* AMD 1.8 Ghz CPU
* 512 MB DDR RAM
* 128 MB ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP card
* Creative Sound 4.1 Digital Blaster
* Direct X 9.0c

I tried everything from updating latest drivers, installing patch, lowering of sound acceleration but nothing seems to change. Is there anybody who can help me?

Did you check that if there is any hardware conflicts on your PC. The same problem i had, but i my system there was a hardware conflict, which i resolved quickly.

This is what EAgames specify for this game. I believe you meet all the game requirements. The minimum required system specifications to run Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault are as follows:

*Windows XP, and 2000 (Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 Server and NT are not supported)
*1.5 GHz processor
*512 MB RAM
*CD/DVD-Rom Speed: 8x
*At least 3 GB of additional hard drive space, 4.5 for the Directors Edition
*Sound: DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
*Keyboard

An AGP video card with at least 64 MB of video RAM with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver and one of the supported chipsets.
Supported video cards:

Nvidia GeForce 3 or Higher (***The MX series of Nvidia video cards are not supported)
ATI Radeon 8500 or Higher

Do you use network card/internal modem in your PC, if so disable those cards.

What is your OS?

I run with Windows XP. Does this make any difference in running the game?

Certainly, try running this game in Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or higher). This is very important because latest WinXp easily resolve hardware conflicts that will tamper with your game, especially your sound card with AGP card.
