Call of Duty 2 works on Windows 7

Hello,
I have the same problem as zekkecraft does. My SP is working as intended, I can start the game, do missions... But when I want to play MP, it starts and then the whole application crashes. "The application has stopped working." I am really clueless, I have latest DirectX, GPU drivers, game patch and it is enabled in Windows Firewall.
When I had Win XP on this same computer, CoD 2 was working without problems, but other games did not. So I choosed to install other OS and I have chosen Win 7. Now the other games work but CoD 2 doesn't. I am even trying to run it with Win XP SP3 compatibility.

Hi,
can you confirm that you have the latest DirectX, GPU drivers, patches for the game, that the game is allowed through Windows Firewall?

Yes, I have all the latest up-dates on everything. I have tried to run it in Xp (sp2 and sp3) mode as-well.

No its saying that "Default_Localize_Mp.Cfg is missing" What do I do now?!

Reinstalling the game does not help me. What should I do? Should I reinstall my Win to x64 version?

No problem.
Vista is one of the worst Operating Systems for computer gaming and other software.
Because of that I used the old XP till Windows 7 came on the market.
Don't forget btw that Windows has given a free code to upgrade to Windows 7 when you bought a Windows Vista. If not, you're not at the right store :P
Actually I downloaded Windows 7 on the internet for free. I bought a new computer a few months ago and you can get way better hardware if you don't have to buy for the OS.

Have fun with your Windows 7

I had and issue where COD 1 and CODUO worked perfectly. After Playing those on my pc about 100 times...lol, I decided it was time for COD 2. I initially had problems installing COD 2 in Windows 7 until I researched the problem and found this forum. Finally I was able to Install COD 2 by doing the "Run As Administrator" thing. However, when I tried to play the game. My computer was very slow and unresponsive at times. I had almost given up on it until I went to "Contol Panel" and opened up the "NVIDIA Control Panel". Under "Adjust Image Settings with Preview", the "Let the 3D application decide" was ticked. So, I ticked "Use my preference emphasizing" and set it to "Balanced". Restarted my computer, ran COD2 as Administrator again, Problem solved! Working great now. Hope this helps.
