Suggestion. Buy your own game, we can't help you since you didn't buy this game.
Hmmm. I would try launching the setup program from windows explorer. Also, clean the disc before trying again.
Photolady, he didn't give enough details that we could assume that the copy is illegal. Gift? Fair-use?
lol my mate got it as a gift, but he gave it to me coz he dosent like dose sort of games :)
btw i had the same problem even with the demo :( and installing Quicktime player
The language can be cut out too, as this is a forum for anyone of all ages.
Some system specs would be useful.

NVIDIA GeFORCE FX 5200 [gfx card]
1GB ram
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.01Ghz
Windows XP pro Sp2
80GB(HD) 5GB free disc space.
Btw sorry about the language i'm just really angry, my fav game and i cant play it for 2days now :(
You have an 80gb harddrive with only 5gb free space? That might be part of your problem but the major problem is probably your video card. That one really isn't good for gaming.
Check with the link below if you're system will play call of duty 2:

I bet you'll find your video card isn't enough.
ProfessorU, I've never heard of "fair use" for games, or other software be it that.
Nah man i passed everything np, but i need to update me driver mine atm is 6.14.10.8198
btw its NVIDIA GeFORCE FX 5200 256mb (gfx card)*** not that it matters much lol
When you checked that, did you check under the Recommended section or just the Minimum section?
Have you tried reloading the game and checking your drives are clean and/or the disk itself has no fingerprints on it?
oh.. cwap.. my gfx card dident pass the recomended. but i'm pretty sure it would still work pretty well on minimum
Free Disk SpaceQuote:
80GB(HD) 5GB free disc space
Minimum: 4.0 GB of uncompressed free disk space (plus 600 MB for Windows 2000/XP swap file)
Free up a few GB. You can add a hdd and transfer a bunch to it. Burn to dvd and then remove what you burned. But until you do, that game will not install.
Video Card
Minimum: 3D Hardware accelerated card required - 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 64 MB (NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra+ /ATI Radeon 8500+)
lol. i've tried to install the game before with 20gig of free space. thats not the problem
i know it will work if i re-install my windows. but i really dont want to do that. there should be an ezier way, friggin windows installer
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game? Have you done any maintenance on your computer lately? Defrag harddrive, disk clean up or chkdsk?
uninstalling and installing? before it could even start doin anythin that error popes up, but yeh i'm gonna try Defrag My Disc.
I thought fair-use also included 'library' type use where I could loan a game to my friend as long as I uninstalled it first. Well, he could be using it for news reporting, right? ;)Quote:

Not relevant to this situation as I've found that this error message he's getting is related to MSI, and probably updating his video driver would fix the problem.
YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!! YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE! mann finelly! i figured it out and fixed the boody thing! an a pretty weird way 2, i tried everysinge thing and a such lil detail fixed it :)
I fixed it by changing company name in the registry
and i also renamed the system to Microsoft Windows Your Mum! lol after dat bm it works, i think it was because my company name was a lil complicated and fancy " "S|\/|B" " i just changed it to "taras" and thats it!
Steps to modify the company name in the registry
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open text box, type regedit, and then click OK to open Registry Editor.
3. Locate the following registry key path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
4. Right-click RegisteredOrganization, and then click Modify to modify the value.
and yeh about that copyright thing uz r talkin about, my mate never installed the game on his comp gave it straight to me, as i said he dosent like cod stuff and war games, he's a car game dude
