There is a way to play WaW on Windows 7 7600: just simple disable your Internet connection before playing the game.

This solution is only for Single Play or LAN game.

Hello

i stated this in another thread, but ill say it again:

what happens is when i launch CoDWaWmp.exe, the splash screen loads, as normal, and then the screen goes black, the computer locks-up, keyboard and mouse unresponsive, i have to reset my computer.

i have looked on many forums, and have tried all of their suggestions, i have set the audio to 24-bit 48000 Hz, and while that fixed the singleplayer (CoDWaW.exe) it did not help the multiplayer, i have also tried removing Treyarch.bik, to no effect, i have also tried every compatibility mode, and it still does not work.

The game did work in windows XP, and i remember i did get it working in windows 7, however i do not remember how i did it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just thought I'd let people know. We stuffed around for a while trying to work out what exactly was going on.

Essentially the issue was caused by an Anti Virus and Security application (Comodo to be precise). So for anyone else that is having a similar problem, try disabling your AV and Security and see if it works.

Does anyone know where I put my profile. When I upgraded I saved it but I can't find out where to put it.

Having major problems getting world at war to work on my PC, the game starts up, I can play mp for like 1 minute and then it crashes to desktop

got the latest pb build and latest directx drivers, about to install the latest driver for my nvidia card (191.07) and see if that does the trick...

Well players, after having ALL of the above symptoms in World at War, I think I have solved it. I used to get random hard shutdowns between 5 and 30 mins....I tried the below and guess what..NO shutdows.....

Go To ->

Control Panel
System and Security
Administrative Tools
Schedule Tasks

Under the Active Tasks panel, I had a task named "RacTask" scheduled to run 1 hour after the power on.
I noticed when the time to start that task comes, my computer reboot...

So I disabled that task, and my computer don't reboot anymore now.

Seems a joke that the RAC service who is the responsible to check the reliability of the system, was the cause of the reboot

Hope this helps as this was driving me crazy.....

Make sure you are patched up to 1.7, you have the latest video drivers for your card and that the last version of DirectX 9 is installed, you can get it from here:

try reinstalling punkbuster and patching the game to the latest version ,one thing though if it's never been patched you gotta install each patch in order just letting you know http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/patches/callofduty5/patch.html
