My friend is trying to install MOH again and he's getting some strange errors. The install goes as normal until the end it cuts off.
Then when he tries to start the game it crashes.
Here's the error:
Code: Select all
...GLW_ChoosePFD( 16, 16, 0 )
...35 PFDs found
...GLW_ChoosePFD failed
...failed to find an appropriate PIXELFORMAT
...restoring display settings
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3)
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL
...assuming '3dfxvgl' is a standalone driver
...initializing QGL
...WARNING: missing Glide installation, assuming no 3Dfx available
...shutting down QGL
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

He's got the same video card that worked before but bought a new hard drive . So I guess he didn't update his video drivers. chkin that now.

I had an OpenGL error when i first tried MOH, i was on a POS at the time so i'd check and make sure you have software (drivers) and that the vid card isn't corrupted.
directX

Be sure to reinstall DirectX.

did he run Configure.exe

Configure.exe is not necessary. Neither reinstalling DX is, as this is an OpenGL error. If he installed wincrap xp from scratch on the new drive, he'll need new OpenGL drivers.
As to the installation error - check if the CDs are intact.

I had this same exact problem with my MOHAA and all i needed to do was update the drivers from the website (nVidia)

if u thought the installation didnt finish properly, u could just copy the contents of ur mohaa folder into his.
