Merry Christmas Trying to install Call of Duty 4 on my Dell PC with
Windows Vista. Getting an ERROR 1305 message. Have tried cleaning/fixing
registry errors, but same message. My son is anxiously waiting for me to fix
it...any ideas? Thanks!

IIRC,I had to install DirectX 9 to run programs like it since my video
card didn't support X10

I have same problem. Error 1305 when I´am installing CoD 4 and 2 from
DVD´s. But if I try install it from same DVD on Windows XP, everything
is OK and I can play. What shall i do? Any ideas? Please I
must install DX 9 or what?

I'm having the same problem when installing it on Windows XP on my
Dell PC. Error 1305: Unable to locate file scoutsniper_fade.bik and a
few other .bik files. Is this a bug?

I have a DVDROM drive and a DVDRW drive. Could that be the problem or
is it just a faulty disc?

I could exchange it with a new copy but DavidinCT also stated that the
problem persists after getting a new copy. What seems to be the
problem?
