I thought just copying all the files in the cod5 directory would work but it did not. Any body out there have another idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

There is a program that can do it, but never worked for me. In the end, I grabbed my DVD and re-installed it. With the profiles there in place ( docs folder or ProgramData?). Once done, I copied the old COD5 files over that folder and, done. No patch issues and still running fine.

But with the installation and going online, it might ask you the "codkey"="YOURKEY" and or type it in. I went online straight away after re-install from DVD and overwrite the files.

I forgot to mention my new pc had no optical drive so I bought the steam version of the game. The original win 7 game files were from a cd install.

When I type the original name to create a new profile it says that name is not available. Maybe it’s because the original files came from a cd copy install and now I’m using a steam copy.

On a drive? Plus you have a Steam version? Steams versions are most likely update and does that work for you? If so, install the Steam version and copy all old data or explain what you have or not. I had that name issues or profile name not accepted by the game/auth network too. Just give me/us a little more information. There is also a WAW profile program, but waste of time. I have spend a lot of hours to fix this. Also, do you have the KEY of the game or from your old one of that DVD box? I might just upload my ISO for you. But your old data must be still at one of your drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I still have the original box and cd with key. Problem is that I don’t have optical drives on the new pc. So I bought and installed steam version. I have copied all my mods/profile files over to the new pc but my name won’t show in the profile selection. Also when I type in the name it says name not available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Why don't you just buy a cd drive and load original then copy old profile etc, easiest way. ShaunZAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank you for trying to help too. Optical drives are 5 bucks second handed. But, you don't need an optical drive when you load in an ISO. Overall question is, does your Steam version work?

I would assume that the game links your profile name with the game ID, and hence not not being able go use your name. If you still have the original CD key you can start the game, go to options. Select "multi-player options, from there you can change the cd key. "enter key code" Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I can not remember asking me for the key though. It might be attached to your account. How to check register: 1) In Run: regedit 2) Minimize everything on the left panel. 3) Search in Register by: CTRL F and type in : Call of Duty and let it search. 4) Once found, right click that part on the left panel and choose Export and save it like on a USB drive. 5) Your new PC, just double click and it will be imported.
