New card

[Art]

What is up you guys.
I bought myself a new videocard today: GeForce 6800 XT.
Now, Moh wont run anymore. After it starts loading, the screen gets back to normal desktop. No error message or anything, just nothing. Kind of blows.
Any suggestions?

In the MOHAA/eReg folder, find one of the "EZ" programs and run it.

Sorry tltrude, I don't understand. I'm running the program and I see a lot op tabs and other stuff, and I don't really know what to do with it.

Anyone? Please?

Try configure.exe in the moh folder... if that doesn't help make a log (shortcut with +set logfile 2) and post it right here V

Tried the configure.exe, and the log.
Honestly I dont know if this is the log, but I guess it is:

Also, I do get an error now when I try to play. Not from moh, but just from Windows (as with any other prog that is crashing).

[lizardkid]

That doesnt have the error, post the whole log (make sure to use logfile 2)

[Art]

I only found that.. Or I am looking in the wrong place. But this is the only log I found in \main. Is it not in main?

[hogleg]

I must ask, have you downloaded the latest GeForce 6800 XT drivers?

[wacko]

Other games work? DirectX installed properly?

[tltrude]

Did your computer have a card before, or were you using built-in graphics? If that is the case, you need to look at the books that came with your computer -- there may be a jumper wire you need to change.

I did used another card before. (Radeon). All other games work so far I've tested (couple of them). DirectX is installed. I don't know about the drivers, I just used to CD that came with it. Tho I heard those CDs are usealy outdated, right?

[Art]

Ok I installed a new driver. And guess what... Nothing.
Blasted moh I think my Era of mohaa playing is over...

Maybe not the best way to go, but promising: reinstall MOHAA (after backing up ur custom stuff)

There is a program in Windows called "drwatson" (start/run/drwatson). If its running in the background, it will make a report when anything crashes. The report is very technical, but it may help.
