Vista - Call of duty problem

b wickham · 07-31-2009

I have just purchased a new desktop for my son running vista premium home and he cannot install call of duty 2. Is it a problem with the 32 bit, any ideas?

Hello b wickham,
When you say he cant "install" COD 2, is there an error message of any sort ?.
Have you tried to install it as an administrator ?, explore the CD and right click on the installer exe, choose "run as administrator", and try again.
You could try compatibility mode too.
Also can you post your system specs, thanks.

Which Call of Duty?

I've tried to install 4, and WAW. and they both ate my laptop. Google "Can you run it" goto the first site. (Using IE) and select the COD you want. it will tell you if it works. It's a god site to use before buying a game. I was going to buy Resident evil 5 for pc in september. but the benchmark test failed. so i wont. so il do this before i ever buy a game.
