Rename the Installshield folder, once you do this the COD2 disk will install it again. Folder is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files.

Ok i bought and installed COD2 yesterday and so far ive played to the mission "The End of the Beginning". the problem is my computer goes to a blank blue screen after this title comes up and turns unresponsive. the only way to exit is by shutting down my computer via the power button. Help!

I am having problems typing in cod2. I cannot type in there without holding the keys down or continuously pressing the keys. It is very irratating. Then my messages come out like this sometimes: cccccccaaann aanyyyonnneeee hheeellp mmmee. Have you ever heard of this problem before? I have already restored to default and also reset optimal settings. Please help me if you can. Thanks

Hi, I'm having some trouble playing this game. First, some specs;

AMD® Live Technology - AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+

2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM

250GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurstTM cache

256MB nVidiaTM GeForce 8600GT graphics card

At first, neither single nor multiplayer would work. Single player would freeze at the loading screen, multiplayer would crash and exit at it. So I installed the following;

- Directx 9.0
- Patch 1.3
- What I think were new drivers for my Card.

After that, single player works flawlessly and looks great. The problem is still with multiplayer, when I try to load it, it crashes and exits. I also enabled SP2 compatibility under properties and tried to run it as administrator, even on the lowest possible resolution with highest performance off the card - but still the same problem.

Will I ever get it working? I had it on the 360 and loved it online Sad

Hello jordan4584 and welcome to Lockergnome!

Do you have XFire installed?

Single Player has stopped working again now too.

Do a complete uninstall, remove any left over files/folders, run CCleaner to cleanup temp files and the registry. Then install the game and install the patches in order.

The only other thing I can suggest is contacting Activision support.

Hi, I'm working for a game center and we experience a little problem with our Call of Duty 2. While loading a multiplayer map it does a blackscreen ( just before map loading screen appears ). The game host never get that problem, but people who connect does randomly. It is never constant or on the same computer.

The 20 computers we have are all spec'ed as the following :

Windows: Windows XP5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer: 6.0.2900.2180
Memory (RAM): 2046 MB
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
CPU Speed: 2381,4 MHz
Sound card: SigmaTel Audio
Display Adapters: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS | LogMeIn Mirror Driver | NetMeeting driver | RDPDD Chained DD

Firewire (1394): Not Detected

BIOS Info: ATAT COMPATIBLE 032907 DELL 14

Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0DN075
Modem: Not detected

Our drivers are all up to date and tried the solutions provided in the first post of the forum. We tried testing the hardware acceleration sound card with DxDiag and it said ''Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sound will only play back from software buffers.'' (If this could help somehow)

We even tried contacting Activision's technical support which could give us no other answers than ''Try setting the graphics lower''.

Thanks in advance, hoping to find the solution to our problems.
