Hooray. So, I have had success getting my old CDs working again. All I had to do, oddly enough, was plug in my headset! Go figure! So, I have tested our TDM site and all works. However, I couldn't use my old ONLINE game name, since that old name is a different install key. So, I added an underscore in my online name. Only affects stats, but don't care. I assume I'll need to get "re-linked" to HLSW and/or Rcon. ??? I will test and see, but I can at least play again! old name: LtLaszlo>XI<Adm new name: Lt_Laszlo>XI<Adm

Laz what your current sreen res setting try 1024x768 like merlin say use compat mode

Thanks guys. I have all of the files, setup.exe, then the multi or single player .exe to XP, SP2. I installed a Flash Player, but version 8. No luck. Started wondering about Direct X and found no folder for it. Tried to install the .exe in the Direct X on the install disk, but even in XP, SP2 compatibility, it says won't run under my version of Windows (10, Pro). Looks like I'll be buying from Steam. $20.00, no issue. Another interesting thing, I installed a second time, but during the install, I didn't get the photo slide shows that changes with the install music. ?? WTF. Why would that change.

Hey Laz. I run COD2 on windows 11 and have the compatibility mode set in the .exe. Try that.

Sorry to hear but I have an alternative that will save you a tonne of time. Here is a list of websites selling COD 2 on steam for the cheapest https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-call-of-duty-2-steam-account-compare-prices/ Also subscribe or add the the mail list of https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (its completely free) they will email you if you email account has been comprised and will tell you what information was stolen etc. If it happens again at least it will warn out and what's possibly stolen. Don't listen captkrunch or you will here for days responding to him trust me. He is just here from his gambling points for blackjack. If you are having troubles after that then PM me ill help you

Have a GREAT birthday!!!!

Update. So I was able to locate and install a version of Macromedia Flash 8.0. It's registered and got running, but no help. Game starts to boot, then back to main PC screen and no message/error. Any ideas? Maybe some Steam remnants, but it was uninstalled and removed from registry, as well.

Laz you kept any digital / hard copies of the steam purchases, have will give them back. for flash media find old winXP driver seen this V8 &nbsp;support &nbsp;64bit note: trial software works win11

So, on Thanksgiving, some MFer hacked into numerous of my accounts, including Amazon, Ebay and Paypal, as well as many others. He even hacked my phone to get my second authentications forwards to further his hack. Fortunately, I caught these fairly quickly and stopped many. He actually got to my 401K, but fortunately, Fidelity saw it a threat and locked my account. All good now, except for my Disney+ account on TV (low priority) and Steam. And since Steam has ZERO phone support, they SUCK. If I must, I will need to get a new Steam account using another name and email ( I can use my wife's email). I would then need to buy again, which is ok. Usually cheap. But, first I am trying to get the original CDs working. I gave up on this way back and is why I even had the Steam version. I have tried to submit support, but won't even take it, because it says it can only process one claim at a time - so apparently, the new guy has one in. He changed his email (p*******.o*******.c** - not me) and I think is requesting to change the name to Laszlo B Sjl (added the Sjl). I did get the account recovered last week, which is how I could play last weekend. But, here I am again. This fucker needs a bat to the teeth! Anyway, the CD install all went well, except I got one error. I had to ignore for the time to figure out what is needed. I've updated COD2 to patch 1.3, the game does try to start, the COD2 soldier appears for a few seconds, but then crashes back to my PC screen with no error or message. So, I believe I need a Macromedia Flash installed. After some research, it says I should have a Macromedia folder in my Program Files (x86) folder. However, I also learned Macromedia is no longer supported or used in most modern apps. Anybody had this issue? How to get the correct Macro Flash version for COD2 Again, I can buy again under a new account with Steam, iff necessary. I had very few games in Steam (cause I hate it!). He can have the old account. I want to play this weekend, dammit!! LOL

The Parrot A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's' mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the Turkey did?"

Here are some short, funny, and occasionally risqué beer quotes and one-liners in English: Funny & Witty Beer One-Liners "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." "I make beer disappear. What's your superpower?" "Trust me, you can dance." - Beer "Beer doesn't make you fat. It makes you lean; against walls, doors, toilets…" "My pants say yoga but my soul wants beer." "I said no to beer, but it just doesn't listen."

Funny Beer Quotes from Actors “The problem with the world is, everyone in it is three drinks behind.” Humphrey Bogart “I think getting drunk is the key to flying comfortably.” Amanda Peet “I did quite enjoy the days when one went for a beer at one’s local in Paris and woke up in Corsica.” Peter O'Toole “I’m a beer man. I tried to drink whiskey and Scotch, but I don’t get it. It smells like a girl who didn’t shower and just splashed a lot of perfume on.” Mads Mikkelsen “Drink reacts on its practitioners in conflicting ways. One brave can knock off a quart of Scotch and look and act as sober as Herbert Hoover. Another, after three Martinis, makes two-cushion carroms off the chaise lounge as he attempts to negotiate the bathroom.” Tallulah Bankhead “I formed a new group called Alcoholics-Unanimous. If you don’t feel like a drink, you ring another member and he comes over to persuade you.” Richard Harris “Wracked with a hangover I do my muttering over a Black Velvet, a union of champagne and stout. Don’t be swindled into believing there’s any cure for a hangover. I’ve tried them all: iced tomatoes, hot clam juice, brandy peaches. Like the common cold it defies solution. Time alone can stay it. The hair of the dog? That way lies folly. It’s as logical as trying to put out a fire with applications of kerosene.” Tallulah Bankhead “Booze is the most outrageous of drugs which is why I chose it.” Peter O'Toole “It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can’t remember if it’s the thirteenth or the fourteenth. “ George Burns “It’s useless to hold a person to anything he says while he’s in love, drunk, or running for office. “ Shirley MacLaine “I turned Hamlet down because it was going to take up too much of my drinking time.” Richard Harris “Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.” Arnold Schwarzenegger “If you can’t do something willingly and joyfully, then don’t do it. If you give up drinking, don’t go moaning about it; go back on the bottle.” Peter O'Toole “My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine.” Tallulah Bankhead “I gave up drinking once — it was the worst afternoon of my life.” Humphrey Bogart “I don’t drink because I have problems or I want to escape. I just love drinking and being drunk.” Richard Harris

Norm Peterson Beer Quotes Norm Peterson, a beloved character from the TV show “Cheers,” is famous for his witty one-liners and his love for beer.

You can’t live with them, pass me the beer nuts.” “It’s a dog-eat-dog world and I’m wearing Milk-Bone underwear.” “After a long day, there’s nothing better than a cold beer and a warm barstool.” “Beer: my favorite food group.” “I don’t trust any man who doesn’t drink.” “I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a beer enthusiast.” “Beer, it’s the answer and the cause of all of life’s problems.” “Give a man a beer, waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, waste a lifetime.” “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.” “What’s the definition of ‘beer goggles’? When you wake up the next morning, and the person lying next to you is a hell of a lot better looking.”
