Call of Duty: World at War won't start up?

[Raiden16]

Every time I click either singleplayer or multiplayer in COD5 for PC it goes to the Call of Duty World at War logo then the screen goes black and then I get this error from windows vista ultimate.

"Call of Duty(R): World at War Multiplayer has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows
will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "

My computer is above the minimum requirements for the game and I updated my graphics card, adobe, and directx. What is goin on?

I also reinstalled the game and installed the latest patch.

change your sound setting to 24 bit 48000

[Raiden16]

yeah changing my sound to 24 bit 48000 fixed it, thanks!

I have this exact same problem but with windows XP!! How do I change the sound settings on WinXP?? I've done everything else!

[jjwebb123]

I feel for you all,i have the same problem and have been seraching all over the net to try and find some answer that suits me...although mine actually plays but crashes at the 2nd level.and evrything is updated including the COD 5 patch..dunno,but im going to try this sound setting.

[spincycleus]

the set the sound thing fixed mine

yay, i would have never figured that out, and sound is actually what caused UT2004 to crash for a while on me till i changed it, but it was different settings, like off of EAX to something more simpler.

Thank you,the sound thing worked for me too,I tried EVERYTHING lol i tought,I would never come up with that on my own,and it made me crazy:D great game btw

[uhoh]

Please tell me how to change my sound settings in XP.
I am getting the error...WAW closed improperly last time do you want to start in safe mode.." either way yes or no my resolution blows to 800x600 then black then back to desktop.

right click on your sound icon in the system tray

go to sounds
find the device that gives out the sounds and click properties
go to advanced and click the option for the lowest quality to 48000hz so its off

if your confused well I'm using vista so there

I don't think you can manually change it in XP, unless you are using a sound card that uses 24bit sound, like creative cards, then you can change it in the driver software.

[Mcninjaguy]

did you try Tiber? since you have XP on there too

[Tiber Septim]

Yeah, I had a look everywhere, couldn't find the option.
I also, checked my Media PC (which is running a really old Sound Blaster) and couldn't change it there either, mainly because it is running some really old drivers that don't have many options.

Guess that's one advantage Vista has.

[jjwebb123]

yeah i tried to access the sound thing and i did but there was no advanced like you mentioned.No adjustable setting.that might be it but i dont know.I use realtek HD audio driver ,so would that be my audio device.all the others are just codecs so i think that is the one.But it doesnt display what u mention.
thanks. this will help many people.

[Mcninjaguy]

can you change the Hz by going into control panel then sounds and audio devices?

[Tiber Septim]

Not in XP.

[uhoh]

Thanks guys, so I am SOL on the game? I am running XP but do not have a hi-end sound card. As mentioned there is no where to reduce the out put. Do I need to buy a sound card? Or upgrade to Vista?
I too only see codecs and RealtekAC97....could this be an acceleration issue? I am going to try at full acceleration.

No joy, no combination of sound acceleration or sample rate conversion worked.

[Tiber Septim]

uhoh, are you using a dial-up modem at all?
I know one other way of fixing it that worked for my dad.

If you are using broadband, not a dial-up modem, then go to Control Panel > Select 'Classic View' > Phone and Modem Options > Enter any old Area Code > Go to Modems Tab > Delete everything.

Worked for me, but don't use if you are running a dial-up modem, as you won't be able to access the net anymore.

[jjwebb123]
