It works, but some have complained of high lag with the multiplayer on both
CoD and the Expansion pack.

Did you try installing DirectX 9? It puts some components into the OS so
that it might play.

Your system is always going to read DX10. Vista also has DX9.0L (or some
flavor) also installed. I believe Dustin is referring to the DX9.0c runtime
update that fixes some issues and games like FEAR and Battlefield 2142
require.

You can get the February release of the DX9.0c runtime update on Microsoft's
site
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

What video card are you using, Nvidia supposedly just released some newones,
I hope your not using the one that came with windows. ATI's 7.1 drivers has
worked well for me in games like Doom3 (an OpenGL game)
