Did you try running it as administrator?

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
There is a program called "SmartClose". Try dl this and running it before you run the game. I did a post in the general section.

Turn UAC off..
Try re-installing and run the .exe on the installer as "admin" as well..
Also try the single player..I almost bet it works fine, but the multi-player will not. That seems to be a trademark event.
Good Luck..

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
Sorry you are having so much problems. I hope you get it corrected real soon. There is nothing like getting a new game and then can't get it to work, nothing worse.

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
found this MACH:
http://www.overclock.net/pc-games/40...-problems.html
first set of suggestions:
Go into the sound properties in control panel. Then go into the properties of the 'speakers' option, then click on the advanced tab.
Change it to: 24 bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality).
Should do the trick.
EDIT: Nevermind, this was the beta and not the same problem as you're having, might want to try it anyways, hell it can't hurt.A captain of the most awesome IHS ever and remember to burn before you pillage.

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
Now that you memtion it I remember people having problems with the game and it was caused by the sound settings. I would try looking in that direction. Originally Posted by Catman1975

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
I would, but I can't even get to the setting menus. The game just stops after the initial COD WAW title screen. I've got a new copy now, so I am going to try installing it with uac off and as an admin. Crossing fingers.
I thought maybe my drive was going bad, but I installed farcry last night and it runs fine.

Re: COD waw "stopped working"
I had a few issues with my Ulty 64 box at first, but since the full release mine only gets this maybe 1 in30 starts, and then when I restart, it is fine.
I wish you had had better luck with this title brutha man, we miss you!
