Spearhed will not install
by worldatwar2000, posted Nov 13, 2002 3:22pm


I get an Illegal Operation message when I try to install the game.

Here's the details of it...


MEDAL OF HONOR ALLIED ASSAULT SPEARHEAD_CODE caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:65646f63.
Registers:
EAX=00000000 CS=0197 EIP=65646f63 EFLGS=00010212

After that it says "The Registration number was not correct. Installation cannot continue"


My sys is..


Athlon 1.4
512 ram
GeForce Ti4600
Audigy Gamer
Win 98se


I did a fresh install of MOH, and applied the patch. I also tried all the trouble shooting fixes recomended in the standard FAQ, i.e. Deleted files in Win/Temp folder Scan Disc, etc.


Any help would be appreciated.


Oh, I even exchanged the game thinking it might be a bad CD, no difference.


HELP!

This worked for me...shesh I love puters ;)

This error is caused by a conflict with a background process called rundll32.exe. To resolve the trouble make sure no instances of this program are running. Follow the stesp below that are appropriate for your operating system:


Windows 95/98/ME:
Hold the Ctrl and Alt keys down at the same time and hit the Del key once. This will in turn bring up a window called "close programs". The only two applications that you want listed here before installing the game are "explorer" and "systray". Close all other programs by double-clicking on them. You will need to repeat this process after closing each application. Note that some applications may take multiple times before closing. Don't worry that you are permanently changing your system configuration; these applications will return when you restart your system.


Windows XP:
Hold down the Ctrl, Atl, and Delete keys at the same time This will bring up the "Task Manager", follow the steps below in order:
1) Click the "Processes"
2) Click on the User Name button to sort by user name
3) Click on anything besides EXPLORER and TASKMGR for this User Name or other user names. Do NOT select anything for SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, or NETWORK SERVICE.
4) Click on END PROCESS
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until only explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe are open for this user profile.






thanks!
