soul .gc January 8, 2004 Share soul .gc Member January 8, 2004 Alright, let's see if any of you techies know this: I have an Athlon 2100, 512mb ram, 60gb hdd, sb live!. Initially I had a Geforce 3 card that would run the game one time fine then I would have to rboot before I could start CoD again. If I restarted it a second time I would get bars across the screen the whole time. I decided it was time to upgrade so I got myself a geforce 5600 256mb card. I put it in and now CoD will only pop a black screen when I start it up. The sound works but no graphics. I updated my Bios and my AGP drivers and still no luck. I disabled my on-board sound so there was only one sound card and still nothing. Activision tech support is not very helpful at this point either. Today I am formatting the drive and removing XP-Home and installing XP-Pro to see if that helps the situation. If anyone has any ideas besides a new motherboard (this one only supports AGP4x), please shout it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r January 8, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member January 8, 2004 the motherboard only supporting 4x agp shouldnt be a problem. theres virtually no increase from 4x to 8x anyway so you dont need to feel your missing anything. I think a clean install of windows and drivers/directx9 should fix any problem you were having. If not, try different drivers, i know for ATI some work better then others, others dont even work.

soul .gc January 8, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member January 8, 2004 The strangest thing is that I can toss in my Geforce3 and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul .gc January 8, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member January 8, 2004 Looks like it is my Motherboard. I popped the 5600 into a P2-500 and installed the game and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
