Question
I can't get MEDAL OF HONOR SPEARHEAD to work. GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
Hi everyone,
I can't get my medal of honor allied assault or speahead to work. The thing is that I've re-installed both games a million times and still can't get them to work. They've worked in the past but had to uninstall because i was getting to addictive to the game. When I try to start the allied assault game, the cd-rom drive will start running, the allied assault screen will pop up but nothing after that. With the spearhead game it will flicker back and forth to my default screen and the loading of the game but will eventually fail leaving me this on the screen(see below):
Also, does having two displays like when going to properties<settings>displa

Hi Masqueraid,
I can't get mohaa working neither any of the expansion games like spearhead or breathrough.
This is probably a stupid question but what would be the Mohaa install folder? I did however look at every file in the "folder" when you go to program files and click on Mohaa. I can't find the Mohaa.exe file. Can you please help me. Thanks.
I attached the diagnostics that the medal of honor game compiled. Also a picture of the video cards that are installed on my computer. Below are the manufacturer and date of the drivers. Also, I don't think I have the original cds that came with the laptop. I don't think I got any or do you mean by the system restore cd-rom.

hey masquerade,
i don't know if this helps but went on the intel site to update drivers and this came up.

Yes, updating your grphics driver is certainly worth doing
see: http://www.intel.com/suppo

Hey Masquerade, here it is.

Thanks - that's helpful
try this driver
http://downloadmirro
(links to direct download)
You may want to uninstall your current Intel Graphics driver before installing this one.
The driver you are using currently ( version 6.14.10.3722) is also the one you downloaded and couldn't install (because it detected you already had that version) so you have the reinstall file already in case of problems (or if you have deleted it you know where to find it on the Intel site).
To uninstall it (or any Windows driver) the quickest route is Device Manager (Right-Click My Computer, choose Properties then the tab called Hardware - Click on the Device Manger button to open it)
Near the top of the list in Device Manager you'll find an entry for Graphics Adapter, if you expand that you should see the Intel 822/855 listed. If you right click on that entry you'll see an option to uninstall.
When you restart your computer Windows will detect the card - realise that no drivers are installed and offer to install them again automatically for you. Cancel that process and instead run the installer I linked to above which should put the latest version in place. Then restart and see if MOHAA launches.
It's not essential to uninstall the older driver first but it reduces the risk that you get bits of the old driver conflicting with the new one.
hey masquerade,
Finally, i can play spearhead, breakthrough, airborne and call of duty BUT i can't play allied assault. I pop in the cd, click on play, the logo pops up on the screen, the cd-drive starts spinning then stops, re-spins then stops it keeps on doing this but nothing. I've come so close please help me. Thanks so much.
I can play the expansion packs but I can't play the main Medal of honor allied assault game. Do you mean by your very first post? This link http://tinyurl.com/b7ra9o?
Sorry, I think I've confused things with the fix in that first link - you only need that if MOHAA works but none of the expansions do.
Reinstalling everything will have helped, but then changing the settings would have been unnecessary (and stopped MOHAA launching as a result)
Put the settings back as they were immediately after your reinstall
Confirm that all the expansions are working fine and that all that needs fixing is MOHAA
Post or attach the MOHAA error log (as you did with Spearhead at the top of this thread)
Thanks
Do you have another machine you can install MOHAA on just to check the disk is OK?
Also check here for details of removing MOH games completely before reinstalling as remaining entries in the registry can interfere with the reinstall.
Plus if you don't already have it you will need this patch for the game once correctly installed (patches to version 1.11)
