Guys
I think I must have knocked out mu ActiveX. I have just tried to
install Call of Duty on my PC and it says the video card has some
componenets missing. Does anyone know where I can download ActiveX ?
I think you mean "DirectX". You can get the latest version of DirectX
from Windows Update. You didn't say what video card you have, so I
can't comment on whether it can handle Call of Duty (game got awesome
ratings from Gamespot!). Here are some generic tips for running games
that you might find useful:
1) Be sure you have a fast processor with plenty of RAM - at least 256MB
but 512MB is better. 2)Test the RAM with Memtest86 if your computer is
randomly freezing. 3)Be sure you have updated video drivers and that
your video card is adequate for 3D gameplay. 4) Be sure you have
applied the latest patches for the game - get them from the game's
website or a place like FilePlanet. 5) If you continue to have problems
with one specific game (as opposed to all games), see if there are user
forums where you can post for help. 6) When you play a
processor-intensive game, don't have other applications running in the
background - keep extraneous programs/services to a minimum.
If you need more help, post back and include some details about your
system.
Cheers,
