Okay the problem I have is the game intro playing finishing and then reloading. Not the bit where the cop gets it but the bit after where it shows ingame footage. It ends and then it just starts again.

Anyone know where I'm going wrong.

Me thinks you should put more info. Like what version of Windows are you running. What cpu,gpu,sound card. Are you drivers up to date? And i mean all ones(sound,gfx,mobo). Do you have 2gb of ram? How much free space you have on hdd?

I cant even start the game. Sad
I installed from the 3 DVD5 conversion (took about 3 hours... lol). game installation finished so far, copied over crack and started... HD is working, the splash screen with the bullets appears and nothing happens. I can only reboot the computer or press reset. the task manager is not able to quit the program.
Strange, since my other Unreal3 engine games are working so far (Bioshock, Airborne)
Athlon 64 3200, 1,5 gig ram, Nvidia 7900 512 mb, Win2000/XPsp1

Does this game require Vista or XPsp2 or something like that?
I have no idea whats wrong Confused

Well, I tried to install sp2 some time ago, but my machine starts with a bluescreen after I did this. Only way was to remove sp2 again to make my XP working again. So I have to stick with XPsp1 and W2k at the moment. Every game is working so far (at least with a "workaround" - like Airborne). Only for Stranglehold thre seems to be no way.... Crying or Very sad

Ah, got mine working finally.... typical beginners mistake, the program may have problems with some background applications (virusscan, firewall etc). After I switched down everything, the game finally started Laughing

sorry for bothering the nforce forum Wink

Won't run for me either, p4 3ghz, 2gig ram, x1950pro 512mb (xp sp2)
(with old omega drivers):
Goes fine to menu, set it to 1280x1024 and try to start, at loading the dots stop moving. I alt-tabbed out and saw a messagebox telling me some shit i didn't even bother to remember,(rendering thread exception).

Figured it was old drivers

(with latest omega drivers):
fat bluescreen, the one that dumps memory and freezes everything. complaining about atikvmag. rebooted and like a regular retard i tried again, no bluescreen but the background action in the menus doesn't show and the game refuses to load.
at the last attempt i did the resolution was reset to 640x480 and when i tried changing it the monitor just made the sound it does when the resolution changes over and over again. (like 640 to 1024 and then back and loop that over and over).

i wonder if it's the omegas, going to try to install regular ati-drivers instead and see if that works, the publishers haven't really been a big help (yeah i know, but if i HAD bought the game the problem would still have been there so.. Smile

Strange thing is that World in Conflict also bugs out totally..

i still cant figure out how to make the game run (i even went through the stuff suggested here: http://www.midway.com/us/SupportCustomer.php?url=/midway/consumer/kbdetail.asp%3Fkbid%3D870 ) but instead of giving me an alternating black-screen and a drop back to desktop cycle the monitor just goes blank and then a blue screen error crash comes along (nv4 driver error...)

i guess the game is just programmed pretty shitty and my system isnt good enough to cope with that =|

I ve already bined this one becouse i have the same looping as you. Combination of 1GB Ram + nVidia might be a reason. I ve tried all kind of drivers and no still joy.
Lutz, it is just another shooter so forget about it.

That's exactly what happened on my girlfriends desktop; she has 1gb ram + nivdia.
On my laptop i also have 1GB but i have ATI and runs fine.
In fact i'm surprised i could play with high settings, because i only have 1 GB and the MINIMUM requirements are 2GB, from what i've read from the official forum.
I use XP, so i have a lot of free memory Razz
No slowdowns, no choppiness, no breaks, nothing...
Removed after 1 hour playing; boring game...

The solution is not the drivers. and not any other "crap".
The Solution is mostly to update your Windows through windows update.
Though i just bought an X2 cpu and a new motherboard with 2gb ram and now it works fine.
I had the strange black screen before that, and i might have forgotten to update my windows before i bought some new parts.
And medal of honor airborne keeps resetting computers, and the solution for that is windows update, i noticed that today when i did it just a few hours ago.

Hope it helps!
