Can't get HOH:AA working properly. Please help.

Hi all. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I installed Allied Assault tonight on my new computer and kept getting "catastrophic failuer" errors. I'm assuming that's bad. So I went back into the installation program and ran the repair option and everything seemed to go fine after that.

Then I go into the game, set up my graphics options,etc. But when I go into the game, everything is black, except for some yellowish shadowlike effects. It seems like I can play the game, but I can't see crap.

I've got an AMD XP 1800+ processor, 256 Megs of DDR RAM, a GeForce 3 video card and a SB Live Sound card. If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Brad

Well guys, I don't know what my problem was. I uninstalled the game and kept trying to reinstall it until I didn't get that error message during the install anymore. Maybe it's somet kind of texture problem. I would try reinstalling, just make sure you don't delete your save files.

Oh, and DAMN, that Ohama beach mission kicks!

Before you reinstall:

scan disc and defrag

shutdown virus checkers and firewalls

use End-It-All Utility to shutdown all programs running in background. Or you can ctrl-alt-delete all the background programs if you dont want to use EIA.
