Your video card appears to be missing one or more features required to run Call of Duty.

You should install the latest drivers for your video card, being sure to uninstall the old drivers first. If you already have the latest drivers, you should completely uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. This fixes most problems. If the game still doesn't work, it may be that your video card does not have the minimum features required. Please check the readme for more information, including a list of supported video cards.


PS: i tried Quake 3 Arena , wich is a OpenGL game and it worked just fine .

I had the same fatal error when starting. I found the fix on Activision website - see below.

If you have an Nvidia card then it is possible your card is not configured correctly to work with Call of Duty. Please try the following:

1. Go to the "Start" button in Windows, then click on "Control Panel".
2. Double-click the "NVIDIA Control Panel"
3. Make sure that Advanced is selected under the View menu.
4. Select "Manage 3D Settings", set the "Extension limit" setting to "Off", then hit "Apply" and close all the windows.
5. Attempt to run Call of Duty again.
