My first Nvidia and last 8600GT or something like that. I just got it Last month. I miss my ATI.... 3 ATIs back to back - not 1 video issue in 5 years. It pays to buy good stuff from the OEM people.

Well, for what it's worth, i've heard quite a few people complain about CoD WaW issues. I can report that my 360 copy runs flawless lol. Anyways, i'm not sure it's a GeForce problem your having. One of my buds has an ATI 4870 and has told me he can't get it to run worth a damn either!

Ok the 2 things that allow it to start 1/2 the time are:

setting the screen to 800 x 600 and 60 hz

setting the audio to 24 bit 41Khz

Back to the warez side of life.... Never thought i'd say that again. Time to bone up on teh copy protection schemes...

It's not even worth playing at those crappy settings. I tried playing CoD4 on my laptop while I was away, but it just looked to bad. 800x600? No mas.

EDIT: Kudos to the mod that stickied this thread.

Actually it's not to bad once the game is running and all the video options are cranked up.... That is if I can get it running.....

Almost done with Fallout 3. I explored just about everywhere and picked up on the main quest. Unfortunately I do not see much sense in playing this through a second time-sure is a fun game, though...maybe after a year or two.
