josh1992 · 08-22-2009, 09:19 AM

i have recently bought a new pavilion p6130y pc with vista 64 bit. i have tried installing five or six different games and eveyone seems to have a problem. on most of them i cant even get past the setup it either says catastrophic or a setup problem. just wandering if anyone else was having the same problem.

thanks

Hi there Josh1992, welcome to TSF :) Did you get any error messages before while installing the game? I did a quick google search and found a match to your problem.

People had the same problem and they were advised to Update everything saying that you may be running older drivers etc... so thats something you can check.... I had a look at the system specs for your PC as well. Its a good PC altho some of the reviews say otherwise, CNET HP pavilion P6130y

The mainboard is Nvidia, which is generally good, you should have no problems running CoD. but i think you should check if there are Updates on your BIOS, motherboard and CPU, as well as graphics card etc. Hope this helps a little.

i tried updating all of my drivers (which was only 2) and i am still having the same problem. how do you update your mother board, bios, and cpu.

Make sure your running Cod2 with administrator privileges. Right-click on the desktop shortcut and click on properties. Click on the compatibility tab and check the box that says run program with admin privileges.
