List your computer specs, specifically your video card. That error 99% of the time indicates your video card doesn't support the game. Mike

Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family is the video card i think. to be honest i aint that well knowledged.

There are 2 things to try, one is to update the video drivers. Two is to increase shared video memory. Go into your bios usually under chipset options and look for memory sharing. The memory you are transferring to your video chip is from your system ram. If you don't have very much ram to begin with, you can't share too much. Choose the system ram first before your video, as ram is used a lot more by all your programs than your video. Mike

Just choose your operating system. After you download, uninstall the old and install the new. Mike

That looks like it's very new. Give it a shot.

Well I am not sure that Graphics Chipset is enough to play CoD4...but let us know if it works....

I am having a similar problem, I just installed COD4 and have a

Accelerator in Use: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
Video BIOS: 1295
Current Graphics Mode: 1280 by 1024 True Color (60 Hz)
for my video drivers, is there an easy fix to this issue.

[Snake21605]

That Chipset is not powerful enough to play CoD4. Please post ALL the specs to your system and I can see what might you might be able to do to make it work...

[xcski09]

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz
1014 MB RAM
Comp model: Gateway GT5404

You need a new (good) video card.

I say atleast the nVidia 6600 or higher

[kingarthurhk]

I am having a horrible time just trying to get the windows installer and the game to cooperate.

I have an XP 64 OS
Intel duo Core 3.0ghz
8 gigs of memory
500 gig HD
Nvidia 7800 g card.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Arthur

kingarthurhk, you should start your own thread.

johny.bell, you definitely need a better video setup if you want to play this game. Newegg has some great deals on GeForce 8600gt cards for under $100. All the systems I have built in the last 3 weeks are all running this card, and COD4 and Crysis are my final bench tests to see how the system performs. Mike

[kingarthurhk]

I did in the installation issues, perhaps you could take a look and render any suggestions you might have. Thanks,

Arthur

kingarthurhk, start you own thread, we are not helping you in this one....

[kingarthurhk]

I did. Thanks for the warm welcome.
