Hello,
i'm a huge call of duty fan.
but whenever i install Call of Duty 1 or it's expansion pack it shows no problem.
but when I start it up, there is no text
E.g : new game, multiplayer, options,
it's not there.
Does anyone know what this may be causing, i've looked for a couple of days before posting this.

my Specs :
Windows Vista home premium 32bit
1gig Ram DDR2
Geforce 8600GT
AMD Athlon Dual-Core 4600 +
465Gig hard Drive.



I never had problems with it on this pc when it still had XP.
tried reinstalling vista, same problem.
can't go back to XP, because my internet needs to be reconfigured for it ><

Thx in advance.

yes i have.

I've tried opening the game after each patch, 1.0 - 1.5
my motherboard + grafix card etc, also have been updated.
tried to run it as administrator, tried it with UAC on,

The other thing you can do is install XP and run it on that.

already said i need an engineer to come over and reconfig my whole net, that's why i haven't installed XP back.

anyway, thx for the replies.

Try installing some older graphics drivers it has worked for me with
problems in other games, they had problems with vista too.

If that doesn't work you can right click on the short cut and then go to the
compatibility menu, then try to run it in "windows xp service pack 2" mode.

You can run the game in Compatibility Mode by right clicking the game's
icon, properties, choosing the compatibility tab and selecting the "Run this
program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP2.

I have also ran Call of Duty 1 and it's expansions on Windows Vista SP1 with
no problems.

i already tried the compatiblity mode, I even tried running the setup in comp mode
I also play recent games, will the older grafix drivers do anything to that?

The graphics drivers usually don't make much of a difference, except for
that the newer ones sometimes mess with games.
Also its easy to reinstall the newer graphics driver if that doesn't work.
