Cod Waw

Alright, I guess my computer isn't up for COD WAW, but I just want to know why. PC version, and I can get to a black screen with music. And you hear the sounds of clicking on icons. And I also deleted the Treyarch file. I also deleted the unimodem half-duplex audio device. Any suggestions?

I'm about to just pawn it off if I don't figure it out soon. Might be my computer though. Dunno.

try running at lower settings, you're graphics card may not be able to handle the game

Sorry, Im not really good with computer technology areas. Where exactly do you change it to lower settings on a XP?

is the intial start up black with only sounds or can you get to the main menu pain?

Is there a servercache file in World at War? If so, try deleting that.

In the initial start up, the whole screen turns black, but you can hear the "whhhhhhh ACTIVISION" then you hear your mouse go over icons. So yes, I can get to main menu I think.

And Dark, I'll try that.

it wont be the server cache, post your RAM, harddrive size, graphics and sound card, and OS and then somewhere in the same post, show the system requirements for WaW

...heh, yeah... Where would that be...in the computer? (gets it out zoolander style)

but yeah, I'll search for it in the morning, but is it on the cd-rom box thingy (my tech language fails)?

System requirements about the game will be on the back of the box, and i can't remember exactly where to go to find system specs if you're running XP

Aight, is this it?

Dell XPS DXP051
Intel (R)
Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
2.79GHz, 1GB of RAM

And Cod WAW....Oh wait, know I know what's wrong
Windows Vista/XP
Intel Premium 3.0GHz or better
1GB of RAM
Radeon 1600XT or better

My processor isnt high enough. And I would think you have to buy something to fix that?

Yeah, you'll have to either clean up your hard drive to create more room, or you'll have to buy a second hard drive, or option 3 you can go buy a new RAM stick and install that to increase you're RAM

And how much do you think a new RAM stick would cost?

RAM upgrades are about 50$, which is cheaper than a hard drive, so that's your bet

Gooood game

Paincakes, your processor isn't good enough to run the game, so you're gonna need a new one. Get like a Dual Core 2 or something at like Best Buy

Black Screen with audio still, thats a sign that u need a new gfx card, cause i'va had this problem before, and thats wut activision support told me. But in order for ur gfx card to work, ull also need a newer processer, so might as well just build a new computer from the ground up, or not play WaW, since theres still th 360
