so i figured i'd reinstall mohaa to see if it would solve the problem i'm having after shutting the game down and taking forever to refresh my desktop. i first moved all my mods and skins to a new folder on my desktop out of the mohaa main. i then inserted the disc, used the uninstall option and then attempted to reinstall after rebooting the cpu. no dice. i got as far as it informing me it was going to download an newer version of divx for me. then...

Medal Of Honor Allied Assault_code.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
followed by
The registration number was not correct. Installation cannot continue.
(didn't even get to the registration key window with the boxes)
i ran regedit and deleted any remaining mohaa registries. still got the above.

did a search on the topic here and downloaded regcleaner, deleted anything that said mohaa or ea games in there also. still get the same warnings.

ideas ?

PKM try this. It has worked for everybody that has tried it.

If you are attempting to reinstall Medal of Honor Allied Assault and you are getting a window that provides you with the options to Modify, Repair, or Remove the game or you have uninstalled the game but it still shows up in Add or Remove Programs then some files are still left on your system. These files located in your registry. The following steps will completely remove the game and all of its settings from your computer, but be warned that if these steps are not followed correctly, there is a possibility that your installation of windows could become corrupted. If you do not wish to complete these steps yourself, you may call one of our phone representatives with the phone number provided in the back of the game manual for help in reinstalling the game. It is recommended that you print out this page before proceeding.

1. Delete the games directory.
a. Double click on My Computer.
b. Double click on C:\
c. Double click on Program Files
d. Double click on EA Games
e. Right click on MOHAA.
f. Click Delete.

2. Next delete MOHAA from the start menu as well.
a. Click on Start
b. Click on Programs
c. Click on EA Games
d. Right click on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
e. Click Delete.

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

Before doing anything in the Registry it is important that a backup be made. If any mistakes are made while working in the Registry the system could become unstable or inoperable as a result.
