Treacherous Mercenary Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I got the game last night and I'm having problems with BF1942 already... I get an error every time installing this game and when I do finish installing it the second time around, the buildings and everything else turn out to be white instead. :wtf: I have the latest drivers and such too.... Anyone else had this problem? Installation error: Specified component cannot be found in the mdeia. An Attempt was made to access a component that does not exist in the named media. I have Windows 98 SE if it comes down to OS by any chance. AMD Athlon XP 2100+ 512MB DDR333 RAM Geforce4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadDoofer Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 You have a fairly recent graphics card, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediMasterEd Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Nice. I heard that the program has a hard time with the GeForce series...course I have a GeForce 2 and surprised that it works. But it's definatly NOT the OS cause I have Windows XP. Well, it does kind of work. I have all of the graphic settings on low or 10%. Any higher and it will go skippy. . Check EA's support page. They might have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadDoofer Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I have XP and a Geforce 2 64mb Ultra. My grapics are in the medium range, and it doesn't skip for me, while still looking pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacherous Mercenary Posted June 15, 2003 Author Share Posted June 15, 2003 I think it would help to disable anti-virus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfergie Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Won't be hard with that newfangled 1.4 patch...dang I'm getting my arse owned. They stepped up the pace a bit, blood, new guns, etc. I usually frequent the EA servers...usually the Fan Favs. *points to Wake* I may suck...but I enjoy it. if'n y'all want to own my arse to just send me an IM. I'm on MSN IM as much as possible and I'm always up for a game of BF1942 since I don't care about my rank I enjoy being cannon fodder. Now Lord Fergie on the other hand...who would think a hillbilly that hadn't played much FPS could come into BF1942 with a performance like that?

JediMasterEd Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 So you're saying that the anti-virus being active has a factor in the problem? Awww...nuts. And I thought that Corperate Edition would be able to run without slowing down programs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as installation goes, yes (for BF1942, I can leave it on and not have problems however for other things).. Otherwise, I can run games fine with it on for Norton Anti-virus.

WolfmanNCSU Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 How long have you had this problem in general on your computer? Is it just for this game or other software too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetorian Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I don't know where you heard about the GeForce series having problems w/ BF1942, but I've never had problems and between me and my friends we have at least 6 computers using GeForce series cards. Now ATI RADEON cards on the other hand, have been known for lots of problems, but I think ATI finally fixed it. Anyway, the installation error sounds like you have a smudge or something on your disk. Clean the disk and try again. As for the white building thing. If the latest drivers (v 44.03) don't work, go here and get a previous driver version.

TheMadDoofer Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Once you get BF1942 up and running (and frag Fergie) you should check out Desert Combat. It's fun and a lot of people play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Sorry, it's only integrated graphics cards and nForce. I usually don't go on. I've been n00b bashed enough already. These people just don't realize that they were n00bs once...ung...450 posts...in two years...almost:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
