Crash on startup as soon as I start Call of Duty World at War

[themesmith]

I got COD5 today and my computer is too old to run it without lagging all over the place. So I went downstairs onto my dad's computer which is top of line and such and installed perfectly but as soon as it starts it crashes to desktop. He uses Windows vista 64 bit which is what I think is the problem, not too sure though. I installed the patch and it didn't work. Please help me out here

TRY SETTING YOUR COMPUTER TO 32 BIT AND SEE IF IT WORKS

No dice. I'll try checking for the latest drivers and if that don't work i'll try reinstalling.

I had this problem and it seemed that setting my sound to 44100Hz fixed it. Hope that helps

Aww fuck, installing the new update was messed then I installed a previous one now games don't work anymore. COD5 says "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions" and I was testing on fallout 3 and it says something about gamebyro. Need help quick!

Oh nevermind I installed DirectX from the cod5 disk. That was close. Trying your theory now, Bladerunner1

How did you do that though?

I am trying to fix my brothers xp comp. I am used to vista and don't know how to change the hertz level in xp.

A friend of mine had the same problem. needless to say, it was fixed by installing DirectX 9.

Find your soundcard/integrated sound quality options.

You really had to revive a 1yr old thread?And you couldn't just create a new one?

Try using the DirectX Web installer, you can get it from here: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en[/url]

If that doesn't work, try updating your graphics drivers.
