| Hi,
|
| I had a PC running XP Pro with COD installed on a second disc running fine.
| Unfortuately, the boot disk died and I didn't have the original XP Pro media.
| So, I bought a copy of Media Center 2005 and installed it on a new disc. But,
| COD MP no longer works. I've updated the graphics drivers, updated the
| VIa4iin1 drivers as per Activision's support line request, all to no avail.
| (I admit that the installation of the via4in1 drivers have delayed the BOD
| but it still happens.)
|
| So, a friend lent me an *original* copy of XP (circa 2001) which I installed
| on a new partition with a view of seeing if it worked. And it does.
|
| A clean install of XP Pro runs COD MP fine, a clean install of Media Center
| 2005 fails to run COD MP. It's the same hardware in both cases, it's the same
| graphics driver.
|
| Does anyone have any ideas why one works and one does not?
|
| Thanks in advance.
