I have been trying to install COD2 on a new PC as I haven't played it in ages, however I get a message strating that there are issues with installation. I am running Windows 8.3.

I clicked on the option for Windows to resolve, but it came back with no solution available. Anyway I went ahead with installation, but now when I try to run it, the screen freezes, goes blank, and the only way out is to use task manager to get to the Desk Top, then shut down. Anyone else had this?

Windows 8 sucks in general. Nothing wrong with usin' 7 but they go and make 8 and 10.

@Loader is the best to get help for CoD 2 tech issues.

I am having a lot of trouble installing COD 2 on a PC with a clean WIn 7 64bit install, and I have both, COD2 from steam and the original DVD I bought a bunch of years ago. I mean I have installed both but I cannot play because I get stuck downloading something called "taunts" I have installed COD Ace mod as well but I cannot find our servers. I tried installing gametracker lite , since Xfire is gone, to no avail. I get an error message that says that my internet connection dropped blah blah blah, Is there and alternative to gametracker lite? Pretty frustrating spending most of the weekend trying to figure out what's wrong....

 

Thank you

Make sure you have updated the game to version 1.3 and you should find the servers listed then. Not sure what to suggest about the Taunts bit though

I'm not having any problems with multiplayer but I would like to play some of the single player games. I did everything shown on the site about installing... not using autorun, changing the CoDMP_S.exe and CoDSP_S.exe files and installing the 1.3 patch. I click on single player and a box pops up to run codsp_s.exe and click run then nothing happens. I'm using windows 7 and have no problems with Call of Duty 1.... I like world war 2 games :-)

Yes to both administrator and Win/XP. It's retail. If it does not play it's no big deal. Multiplayer is working so that's good.

I searched codsp_sp.exe and the only thing that I found was some people have the problem with amd video cards and some have the problem with steam...There was not an universal fix for either that I found...

I have never had this problem before, damn. Hopefully you'll find a fix, i love the campaign in CoD2, best one. But your multiplayer still works which is great
