What kind of video card do you have? Nvidia has been getting flak for not keeping up with the video card drivers for Vista. Make sure your driver is up todate

And make sure you install the latest patch for CoD2
To the guy above me, Windows Vista comes with Directx 10
And to the guy below me, any good software developer can make their products vista compatible by releasing a patch. Are you freaking telling me games like Starcraft wont run on WinXP because the box says its win95 compatible?

Find out what level of Directx is on the macine. Run the Direct X Diagnostic Tool. Go to START | RUN and type in:
dxdiag
Make a note of what version you have. You may need a version change.

This game is built for Windows XP and some of its predecessors and it is not compatible with Vista. I don't know what's inside vista but try right clicking the shortcut icon of the game and select properties then select the "compatibility" tab. set its compatibility to windows xp/2k/98. just try.

study the device manager and be particular if the optical stress is a DVD or BluRay participant. it optimal likely is a blue-ray helping DVD stress yet at the same time as there is not any bluray participant application put in on the computer, then it gained't play the media.
