sounds like the same issue i used to have with cod4... all i had to do was update my drivers

[Captain 24]

I have updated all the drivers on the computer wondering if maybe just a bad disk

[MR|337]

I can loan you mine to re-install. If he uses his own cd key from the bad disc it should work ok? You wont need the disc to play multi just single player..

And it should of been direct x 9 that you updated..

[Shmotz]

9? mine was 10

[MR|337]

There was an update needed to address dx9 even with the demo version.

[Captain 24]

I have updated the direct x this is the error

Call me when you get a chance. If I dont answer my cell try my home 372 7442.

We should be able to re-install with my disc and use your key. You did patch the game?
