Hi,
it may be that yo system is not compatible with the game
check for the requirements at the back of the game cover.

No. Ati Radeon HD 3200 won't run any graphic intensive games. You need to get a non-integrated graphic card: I'd say GeForce 8400 or better. It should only run about forty or fifty bucks and will let you run the majority of mid-range games.

Run the direct x setup that comes with your setup files and try again

HI,

I HAVE A PROBLEM HERE AND I DON`T KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS BEFORE,

MY SCREEN TURNS BLACK WHILE PLAYING ON THE COOPERATIVE MODE, THE STRANGE THING

IS THAT I CAN HEAR THE SOUND BUT NOTHING APPEARS, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN ISSUE ABOUT THE DRIVER THAT I HAVE, OR A ONLINE PROBLEM, IF I NEED TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING,

ANOTHER QUESTION, HOW DO I MAKE THE GAME GOES FASTER, I HAVE TRIED TO CHOOSE THE BESY CONFIGURATION IN ORDER TO DO THAT BUY THERE ARE LOTS OF OPTIONS THAT I DONT UNDERSTANDD

THANKS :S

Try updating your graphics driver. That should fix your problem

So RAVENSLUCK, i would be bursting your bubble if i say that both my Geforce 6600LE and GT plays CODWAW perfectly...NOT SLI, separate PC's

Try going on google and typing in "can i run it?" once you are on the sight all you have to do is select the game you are trying to run (call of duty world at war) and click start. it will then scan your computer and tell you weather you can run that game or not. if not it will tell you what you need and were you can get what you need from.

good luck

So far the only thing that I can tell is that the problem has something to do with the videos before missions. I moved the "videos" folder out of the "main" folder in the main COD WaW folder. You can't watch any of the cutscenes, but at least you can play the game.

Hello all, the way that worked for me (the same situation with others') was to move the "video" folder to somewhere else outside of the game's installation folder (it was originally located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\main) - just move the "video" folder out of that area and you're fine to play the game (although the flash scenes are removed like MrAnderson said). Good luck all!
