What kind of help do you expect - upgrade your hardware accordingly.

 

| Video Card

| Minimum: 128 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT or greater (GeForce 6800XT,

| 6800LE, 7100GS, 7200GS, 7200LE, 7300GS, 7300GT not supported);

| ATI Radeon X1300 Pro or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets

| may work but are not supported.

BTW: Not a Windows issue.

So what could you not understand about the error message? Check the

specs for your video card. Check what are the minimal video

requirements for the game. The game is obviously newer and demands

better hardware. Until you get the minimum hardware required by the

game, it'll sit on the shelf collecting dust or just waste disk space.

 

The EA site is very crappy for getting information on their products,

and right now it is extremely slow. I did find system requirements

listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor:_Airborne. So,

do you have a video card that supports Shader version 3?

 

My old ATI Radeon X850 AGP only supports Shader 2.0b, so I can't play

any games that demand support for Shader v3, like BioShock. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_games_that_require_Pixel_Shaders

for a list of some games and which pixel shader version is required.

Yours is too new to show up in this list but the system requirements

for the game say that Shader v3 is required. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_shader for a list of pixel shader

versions supported by various video chipsets. I built a new computer

for my aunt that has an ATI HD2900 video card and it supports Shader

v4 - but then she doesn't play those high-end games. For me, games

are not worth the cost to swap out my old video card and spend gobs on

minimal hardware acceleration or special features. There are still

games that my video card will play, plus I like paying lower prices

for the older games.

Not here. You need to get a different video card, (the physical bit of

hardware), that the game supports.

 

Under the readme file for the game there will be a minimum make/model of

video card you can use.

Does your video card support what the game says it needs?

This means that your video card is to low tech or the video card wont run

with that game for it to work with the game I am sorry but if you look on the

back of the box for you game it should say the requirements and a good video

card if you have any questions you should ask a person in your nearest

computer shop.
