Your video card appears to be missing one or more features required to run Call of Duty.
You should install the latest drivers for your video card, being sure to uninstall the old drivers first. If you already have the latest drivers, you should completely uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. This fixes most problems. If the game still doesn't work, it may be that your video card does not have the minimum features required. Please check the readme for more information, including a list of supported video cards.


Sorry for the long report. I have installed the latest drivers but with no luck.

Below are my follow laptop specs

Dell Inspiron 6400
Windows vista Home Basic
Duo Core 2 1.8Ghz
1GB RAM
Nvidia - GeForce Go 7300

ANy help/advice would be greatly appriciated

Thanks in Advance

[RICK1986]

I don't know at this point.

Google this:

It isn't an uncommon problem. There were mentions of a patch but I didn't see any links to it. Also I think they were all using XP.
Vista is a completely new OS. People have problems with it that are (sometimes) hard to pin down.
There are some gamers who come here. Maybe a better answer will come along. Sorry I just don't know.

i don't get why gamers go for vista since ppl have many problems with it, its got DX10 but isn't 10.1 coming out in a while. Call of Duty is even better than cod1 works with vista no probs but you need to upgrade to the latest DX9 on the website.

I use an XP computer and Vista. I have played Call Of Duty 1 and 2 on Vista... Works fine.
