Compatibility Issue With CoD2 and Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 and the error I get tells me that CoD2 is not compatible with Windows 7. Anyone else get this?

Thanks.

Did you try to run it in compatibility mode? Also if you have a 64-bit system and you bought an older used game meant for a 32-bit system that might be an issue.. maybe Vix can help you out.

My first advice is just right-click the shortcut, go to properties, click the compatibility tab, and check the "run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and select XP or something.

I remember a cod2 issue from the past in a COD2 push. However I forget what the issue ways. Whatever it was I have a fix for it.. Not sure of its one in the same though...

Double post:
Just tracked It down.. It was a up/downgrade info and how to remove steam from the equation I u downloads from steam...

Ill be able to troueshoot better once I can play the game

yea i cant get multiplayer to run for me from steam... crashes the game. when i go to the local file and try to run it from there in it says "cant find steam" and doesnt work

plug in a mic

Ill get the info uploaded to media fire tomorrow afternoon.
Hopefully it will help you

All I needed to do was plug in a mic and it worked.

Haha awesome!

Mine is brand new, in the box, from Amazon. When I load disk 1 I am prompted to run the .exe file to bring up the install option. I don't get the install option, I get the version conflict error.

Thanks.

Got it installed. Now just need to download 1.3 patch. It's late, have to get some sleep.

Can't wait till I can get on and start playing... Figuring out what makes the game tick

Glad you got it Termi and the patch is a piece of cake to do partner! Cant wait either.. Be glad when we can all get together and have a night of play time. God bless you guys.

If anyone is running Windows 7 and gets an "incompatibility" error, here is a work-around to get CoD2 installed on your PC:

1. Install disk 1.
2. When the .exe prompt screen comes up do NOT click on the Run.exe selection.
3. Click on the "Open Folder" selection at the bottom of the box.
4. Once the folder opens, right click on the Setup.exe file and select "run as administrator."

The disk should start loading at that point, then install disks 2-6 as prompted. Do not click the run.exe selection when inserting subsequent disks, rather press the red X to get that prompt to close. DO however select "OK" to run the next disk on the other prompt that shows up.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Termi.

dont forget to plug in mic and headphones...

Mic and headphones all plugged in.
