[SOLVED] COD 5 Startup Problem
December 27th, 2019
I just installed a cracked copy of Call of Duty,
but when I Double-click CoDWaW.exe, it shows the splash screen,
followed by a black screen,
the black screen then closes and comes out as an unhandled exception.
it also has the following details:

what hardware are you running?
what does that mean?
i have a samsung hdd
2.5gb ram
vista home premium (fresh copy, installed about 5 hours ago)
intel pentium 4 (3.2gHz)
need more info?
he was asking for your pc specs
btw you forgot to specify the video card
anyhows,from what i can see its a username/profile issue
thats causing this , just look at the log
oh yes, video card is i think ati radeon x600 (256mb)
also, do i just delete the old profiles then i can start playing?
thats worth a shot , eventho i thought its a simple profiles issue i checked the system requirements just incase
http://www.callofduty-5.com/system-requirements/
and it appears thats its hopeless,not gonna work with that video card
so do i just change my video card and thats all?
yep,but its gotta be a good one
i can give you a recommendation/store to get it from
if youll provide me with the max budget and motherboard model
(to determine if the video card slot is agp or pci-e)
ok, my motherboard, its old its a Motherboard Name Intel Battle Lake D915PBL
and im going for at least 512mb graphics card
thanks
your motherboard have pci-e thats good
also,i was thinking about this and you will probably need a new power supply aswell

corsair 550w psu
http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/77420/POWERSUPPLIES_500W_-_599W/Corsair/CMPSU-550VXAU.asp
totals at 374.75 , if thats too much for you then let me know
and ill make some other suggestions,this video card is one of the best
at the moment and the psu is excellent
ok ill start to save up
but im not going to buy online,
can u please find one that is from:
www.fluidtek.com.au
or
www.ccpu.com.au
i live like 2 seconds away from them
okay,i see that your a lil short of cash so some other suggestions
9800GT / 175$
http://www.ccpu.com.au/show_prod.php?class_id=video&prod_id=MSI-9800GT
OR
9600GT / 140$
http://www.ccpu.com.au/show_prod.php?class_id=video&prod_id=MSI-9600GT
Corsair 520w HX PSU / 149$ (no good psus on the other site)
http://www.fluidtek.com.au/prod73.htm
excellent psu but notice the newer & slightly more powerful
vx 550w costs only 3$ LESS on the site i provided in my last reply
not a major diffrence between the two, just a better bang for the buck
totals,with the 9800gt = 324 , with the 9600gt = 289
i wouldnt go with anything less then 9600gt
ok
thanks, i got them
it works now
so SOLVED & THANKS
