hello and welcome to TSF,
try to reduce the refresh rate of your monitor (it's in hertz)
I'm not familiar with Windows 7 but I don't know if it's the same as vista when it comes to opening the Display
for me I do this:
right click anywhere on the desktop -> Personalize -> Display Settings -> advanced settings -> monitor
under monitor settings choose a lower refresh rate (like 60 hertz)
if that didn't work try to reduce the resolution of your desktop
also please post your Monitor name and model

When you say Windows 7 'Ultimate' are you sure you are not confusing it with Vista Ultimate? There is ONLY ONE version of Windows 7 and that is the beta version, no 'home' no 'ultimate'.

Also, can you post your graphics card?

Its the Windows 7 release candidate, It says it ultimate under system details. Thanks for the tips i'll try them and get back to you.

I don't think your graphics card can run the game.

Also, the game is probably incompatible with Windows 7

Ithink you might be right about the graphics card considering how old it is. Thank s for your help guys!

The game wouldn't be incompatible with Windows 7 most likely but your graphics is definitely way too weak to run COD WAW.

Yeah, my old Geforce 6200 is basically the at the red line.
