Re: MOHAA Issue

Forgot to reply: As it turned out, I had to reinstall the DVD unit and
software. I did update the drivers. Seems the new mobo didn't fully
recognize the player and attributes.

Thanks for the help.

||| Hi Steve,
|||
||| Among other things that log indicates that it cannot open the GL
||| Subsystem which indicates that you need an updated video driver..
|||
||| Updating video card drivers can solve most gaming issues. Here's some
||| simple abc's to always keep in mind. a. Shut off download accelerators,
||| firewalls and antivirus programs when downloading or installing updates;
||| b. Check for game patches: www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a
||| c. Make sure you meet the game's minimum video and system requirements.
|||
||| Before you update your drivers, I recommend that you update DirectX from:
||| www.microsoft.com/directx
|||
||| Here are the steps I recommend you use to update your driver:
|||
||| 1. To identify the make and model of your card, right click your
||| Desktop, choose Properties / Settings / Advanced / Adapter.
|||
||| 2. Download the latest video driver for your card online, using
||| http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbit...o.html#drivers
||| to find the website to download from. I also have advanced
||| video driver and direct X troubleshooting steps on that page.
|||
||| 3. Save the .exe driver (or extract the zip file) to a folder
||| in My Documents named after the driver version number.
|||
||| 4. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key
||| about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode.
|||
||| 5. Click Start / (settings) Control Panel / System / Hardware
||| Device Manager / expand +Display Adapters / right click on
||| the adapter, pick "Uninstall", and click No if asked to reboot.
|||
||| 6. Use Control Panel / Add-Remove programs to uninstall the
||| previous driver (exe)software which may have been installed.
|||
||| 7. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key
||| about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode.
|||
||| 8. If the driver is NOT a (.exe)program file, GO TO step 11.
|||
||| 9. When Windows prompts you to install the video adapter, click
||| "Cancel" and Double click the driver program to begin installation.
||| * Even if not prompted, doubleclick the driver and install it.
|||
||| 10. After you reboot, go to Control Panel / Display / Settings and
||| choose 32 bit Color Quality, and 800x600 or higher Resolution.
||| That's it! Scroll down to the Troubleshooter if you have problems.
|||
||| 11. When Windows prompts you to install the video adapter, click
||| "Install from a list or specific location", click the "Browse" button,
||| browse to the My documents folder where you saved the driver,
||| and finally click on one of the driver files to begin installation.
|||
||| ** If you are not prompted, or if the driver was updated automatically:
||| Click Start / (settings) Control Panel / System / Hardware Device Manager
||| expand +Display Adapters / right click on the adapter, pick "Update Driver"
||| to start the Update Wizard, choose the "Install from a list..." option:
||| Browse to My Documents\ folder with the driver in it
||| Click OK and click Next to begin the update.
|||
||| 12. After you reboot, go to Control Panel / Display / Settings and
||| choose 32 bit Color Quality, and 800x600 or higher Resolution.
||| That's it! Try the advice in the Troubleshooter if you have problems.
|||
||| TROUBLESHOOTING:
|||
||| Test your drivers using DXDiag: Click Start / Run / type: DXDIAG
||| Click the "Test" buttons in the Display, Sound, Music & Network Tabs;
||| If any of the Display options are Disabled and you cannot Enable them,
||| your most likely solution would be to update your Chipset Drivers as per
||| my website: http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/Video.html#v11
|||
||| Your program might not support dual monitors, or "dual head" video cards
||| You can disable the extra video output in your display properties control
||| panel. Click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced.
|||
||| Along with your Video card, Sound Cards, Motherboard Chipsets,
||| and Video Monitors may also require updated drivers. Even your
||| motherboard's BIOS may need to be updated for compatibility with
||| your Video card. These steps are listed at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk
|||
||| Perhaps the old Video drivers did not completely uninstall. If that's the
||| case, use these utility to completely uninstall the drivers and go to step
||| 7:
||| nvidia: http://content.guru3d.com/index.php?...atorrip&menu=0
||| or for all cards including nvidia use: http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/
|||
||| The latest video drivers sometime don't work with a particular game.
||| (Check the Video suggestions in the readme.txt file in your game folder/CD)
||| If there's no suggestions, try an older (WHQL) driver, and/or if you still
||| experience problems try a Beta driver, or even an Omega driver instead:
|||
||| BETA Drivers: http://download.guru3d.com/
||| OMEGA Drivers: http://www.omegacorner.com/
|||
||| There you have it, if you have any questions feel free to post them! :-)
