PT-Bama RD PT-Bama SO, just to be clear. You are on the same rig.. you just swapped from an external drive loaded with 32XP to a drive loaded with 64XP? If that is the case, then maybe this will help: I have had similar happen to me with corrupt directX drivers. I recommend uninstall/reinstall of vid drivers. The part that worries me is that you swapped from one OS to another on separate drives.. which might indicate that you are experiencing a graphic hardware problem. Try the drivers and see what happens. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck. actually its an internal drive. I have a multi boot setup controlled by OSL2000. The COD4 game is the only 1 suffering from visual issues as you see in the pics. I started up Blackops and its smooth and clean. Would not others be affected as well? just asking . I did rollback 1st then uninstall drivers on the 32Xp but i did not do that on 64XP install @ Bigmeandean.........i run it at 1024x768........if I run it at some high res. I cant see the damn text in game its small and my eyes are getting bad from meds I take and diabetes. I agree, it would affect all if it were a hardware issue... so that is good news. I will do some google digging too, I'm stumped at this point. I would agree with Dean.. play around with graphics and texture settings and see what happens. If you carried over your user folder from one drive to the other.. and your user profile was 'reset' when pb kicked you (if it was), it would explain crappy visual settings. I've had it happen before, and it is why I now keep a backup of my player profile on usb. PT.......I actually did save my "player" and "mod" folders and added them to the XP 64 install. it made no difference. BTW.............you can not load ANY servers either fyi. I've been beating my nuts on the table since 7am my time trying every config I can figure might resolve it. I'm going to hunt me a good program to test the card out and see if there is any issues . its only 2mos old but that dont say anything.... just cant figure why only this. I'll shoot a screeny of my Blackops up here for comparison for the eye. Below is screenys from BO so you can see the difference in clarity. I also ran passmark and the card and computer are running fine. I also tried single player and its all blurry as well plus when I attempt to join I get "i3w" kick immeadiatly @ Nutcutter.......I did a default fresh player and no results.... I dont mind starting again if I need to.

Thought I'd put this here....not sure if its computer or COD4 its suppose to post to. Please move if needed.... Ok.....I have been playing COD4 on my stand alone 32xp drive flawlessly for a while now only getting the usual "i3wmp" crap kicks. Today while playing on MW2 V.2 I got a kick from PB saying "disallowed driver 0 min" which I think I got once on my 1st install on old box a while back. I went and updated PB thinking that was it. I again get kicked for same thing. I rebooted the computer Note that when I start the game I get the usual ....Safe mode option of which I always hit "no" of course. Upon trying again I get into game but the screen looks terrible....almost like its in safe mode but worse. All the words and lettering are fuzzy and ragged edges. My video card actually makes them look better on the screenies I added below. When I hit "join game" I get an immeadiate kick for "i3wmp...". I then uninstalled it and reinstalled it and even cleaned out all my saved stuff etc and did a clean install which did the same thing as before. Got kicked as soon as you click join. Sooooo.... I yanked it all off and went to my XP 64 drive which has COD WaW & BlackOps and installed it there. Well ..... I got same shit as before just like screeny below. BTW those are the XP64 screenies posted after the 2nd install. I did do a google search briefly but saw nothing that pointed to the issue at hand. I thought someone who had experienced this or has knowledge would share with me. I would like to add that the BlackOps and WaW are working fine with the exception of no sound on the WaW...but we will address that later. I really appreciate any help offered here to resolve this. If need be I can meet someone on TS if they wish if they choose My equipment is as follows........ MB........Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 Ram........8G DDR# @1333 CPU......AMD 1100T BE 3.3Ghz Graphics.....ATI...6950 2G HDD.........4x 74G 10K Raptors in raid 5

For that kinda money you can build a damn rocket sled box. Also what Bigmeandean said..... be careful of some of those "pretty" packages. Many have great stuff in them but not all is compatible with each other therefore it wont compliment your system. There are dozens of different combinations of components that you can use. Do you have a preference for CPU? AMD? Intel? Graphics card....either Nvidea or ATI. ***** Please note...... I would NOT recommend ANYTHING from ...IBUYPOWER. They are known for building crap and have an even worse reputation for customer service. They are giving Newegg and bad rep as a distributor and that was told to me in casual conversation with a rep that I've known for years there. I have seen many a unhappy person that had to return their computer 3-4 times at their expense to get it right and they still had to come to my pals shop to get fixed or repaired

striking resemblance too. LOL

My how those do apply LOL

ROFLMAO.......+10

happy birth day Meek. I'll give you and extra 40 kills or defrosts for your present LOL

YIKES!!!!!

Happy Birthday gentleman

I installed WAW on my XP32 HD and it had no sound so I uninstalled it and re-installed it on XP64. I had sound in game when I 1st installed it and then I went back today to play on XI server and had no sound in game BUT I had in-game chat sound. The only thing I have done since the install was install COD Black Ops last week and it has sound . Of course I did google a search to remedy such and from that I seem to have all their suggestions in order. Might one you you other folks have some insight or experienced this please? Thanks for taking out time to help......I really appreciate it. -RD

Sonovabich ...Aha that will teach me to read replies properly..Cavey already confirmed it...DOH! Its 1st signs of old timers disease. I got it bad LOL

PigDog Cool Rugger, I want to check out the new mod, but there is nobody in there. Guess I will just act like RD and play with myself for a while Yes its fun and you can date any woman you want. ....without buying dinner 1st. LOL For instance....I dated Morgan Fairchild just this morning

Pics? LOL

Ha hahaha. Good one

Nice remedy there

Yes yes yes.....folks are tired of killing me in same place all the time LOL

Not to derail the thread....BUT.......cheese seems to be a gas glitch himself and yes....it stinks. Carry on @ Cavey...............that was brutal man ...brutal ROFLMAO

Oh...ok guys...just was confused as to what was up. Appreciate all the input on this issue. many thanks -RD

I started playing on server 1 FT and when my weapon list showed up it was as below....however those are not my kits that are listed yet my weapons I chose are underneath those choices. My list is ... M4 G3 M4 G3 P90 This is a screeny of what it says it is...

great post Dilly........ I love sarcasm!!! +10

well I went in and checked it out. Seems pretty smooth. Of course I was playing it by myself. I do like the reduced jump feature = more realistic. Weapons load up well and your keyboard combo thing is pretty cool to. just takes a moment to get use to. Now if we can just get some more folks in there to play.

Awesomeness x10

that was great
