Yesterday I took my wife for pre booked tests at the hospital. And after having an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy the Doctors discovered my wife has Bowel Cancer.
At the moment we are just numb and trying to get our heads round it, Donna is a woman who has never smoked or drank to excess (the odd glass of wine) and teaches PE at school. So she has always been fit and healthy. And in ten years has only been off work twice due to illness it just makes no sense.
We have now told all the family which has been very hard on everyone. This woman is my rock for over 22 years we have only ever been apart 3 times in all those years. I find myself having to be the strong one telling everyone its alright mum will be fine, while cracking jokes and keeping a smile on my face when in reality I just want to scream. 
It is now a waiting game for more tests and the results from the Biopsy. We have a full body CT scan booked for the 4th of next month to see if it has spread and only after those results will the Doctors decide the next step.
I do not claim to be a religeous man but I prayed for the first time in a lot of years. Not for me but for my wife who is the most wonderfull kind and gentle woman you could ever wish to meet.
I only post this to remind everyone, hug the special people in your life , tell them you love them today. Because you never know what tomorrow brings.
Wishing everyone the best

hey @BigPapaDean, I know I can help you fix this. Ive done it a few times with CoD on Steam.  It would be so much easier to talk you through it on voice. Ive got you on fb so shoot me a message so we can get together and get you back on the battlefield. Carl Sexton on fb
P.S
I will say this,
Step: 1 - You need someone else who is already on the version you want. Step: 2 - They need to send you their WaW game .exe from their Steam games folder.
Step: 3 - Then you save it IN PLACE OF your current WaW .exe file inside your Steam games folder. 
Step: 4 - Change Steam Updates setting to ask before it updates. Turn off automatic updates. NEVER VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES. It will send you back to current updated version.
Step: 5 - Start your game. It will tell you the version you are on in bottom right corner of Main Menu. Good luck, hope it works and shoot me a message on fb.

Is this a Steam copy?  Steam would update/patch automatically if that is the case as far as I know, I'm not familiar with how Steam manages games and installs.  Outside of that, if it's a legit CD copy, those patches should work.

Dean,
Patches can be found in the Downloads section but here are the links. Install them in this order. There's a patch in the downloads listed as 1.2-1.3 but is not needed so don't install it.  Also no need to reboot every time, just install them in order.
Patch 1.0117
Patch 1.2
Patch 1.2-1.4
Patch 1.4-1.5
Patch 1.5-1.6

Patch 1.6-1.7

The Steam version of COD5 will not work in multiplayer.  It will tell you to create an online profile and then it will just error out or some such.  I found this back when I came back to COD5 a couple of years ago.  I couldn't find my CD/key, so I purchased the game on Steam and figured all would be okay.  No.  Did not work.  Googled.  Yup, it's a known thing.  Contacted Steam for a refund on the basis that I wanted to play online and the game is, for whatever reason, unable to do that.  A refund was issued.

Thankfully I found my CD key, but not the CD itself.  @Merlin007, you may recall sending me an iso of the COD5 disk.  I installed from that iso, entered my valid CD Key, and (after installing all the updates) was back up and running.
If you do not at least have your original CD Key, I don't know how to get you around this, Dean.  I was lucky enough to have located my Key.  I have it stored in my password manager, along with many other activation keys, in a "secure note".
 

From the Steam Launcher, right-click on the game from the Library and select Properties from the menu. Select the Installed Files tab and click Verify integrity of game files... Steam will verify the game's files. This process may take several minutes.

Is this a Steam copy?  Steam would update/patch automatically if that is the case as far as I know, I'm not familiar with how Steam manages games and installs.  Outside of that, if it's a legit CD copy, those patches should work.
