Can't star CoD WaW

Hi TSF,
Okay so today I installed Call of Duty World at War. Well when I'm at the menu I go to SOLO and click new game select my difficult level the difficult level window disapers and nothing happens. Please help I really want to play this game.

Well I fix that problem. The way I did it was
1.Navigate to the folder : XP users :C:Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\
Vista users : C:Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\
2.Delete all the folders in there.
3.Create a new folder with the name of the Profile ex: tHeSiD (folder remains empty)
4.Create text file: active.txt (must NOT be readonly)
5.Open active.txt and type in your profile folder name (tHeSiD).

But for some resone my game lags even on everything low exept my screen witch is 1280x1024. I went to canyurunit.com and it said that I pass, so why doesn't the game run like it should?

canyourunit.com only shows your shader versions not the actual clock speeds of your video card.

the only way to run the game is on 800 x 600 resolution with everything on very low and no AA

your computer specs are old and its probably at the bare minimum to run the game, that what I get from reading your system specs under your avatar

Yeah, you have a fairly low end system. Not ancient, just not exactly top-of-the-line anymore.
An Intel P4, DDR400 RAM and an 2 year old GPU on a legacy interface trying to run a fairly new game on top of Vista. It's going to be a struggle.

your video card has a 64 bit interface, and it's pretty low.
check this ATI Table Comparison to be sure and to compare different ATI cards.
and it's AGP!! and you are running Vista!

try to run the game on XP, maybe it'll give you more boost.
