It looks okay, but i just don't feel comfortable running a "fix it" utility unless it comes from MS. |

Good news. Somehow it seems to be working. I booted into "No Driver Signing" Mode. Installed from a bootleg single disc DVD version using my own CD Key, and installed the latest version of DX 9.0c. I did not get a single error and all files are in place. It seems to run multiplayer okay but the graphics are kinda grainy and "jumpy". I was not able to get my custom refresh rate of 120hz to work but that's okay i guess. This has taken my 3 weeks and at least 30 install attempts. Two system fuck ups that required clean windows 10 installs and countless other problems. So I am OCD and like to tweak things until they work, i can't help it. I learned to build my own computers by "smoking" a few processors...oh well that's how we learn, right? Thanks for the help here, it really benefited the adventure. |

Thanks for the info Stunt. Yeah, i have seen the compatibility section and took that into account. For some reason, i have suspected it as a DX issue but can't zero in on it. Again, thanks for the help here bud! |

Not having much luck. Whenever I attempt an install, I get this alert. Any theories what could be causing this?

Nickenstein, I thought it was a dx issue as well. Maybe with DX7 being in COD2 but tried multiple suggestions to work around it and nothing worked. The comment below yours sounds more like what the issue might be. Also, don't be so hard on Windows 10. It's a good system. Things are faster, snappier, and it feels "lighter". Yeah, you have to disable a lot of the privacy crap but overall it's an improvement from Windows 7. Everything you do on a smartphone or pc these days is somehow going to be tracked by the manufacturer. stunt, this may be the problem. It crashes when it seems to "phone home" to Disc 1 during the final steps of installation. I will read the info you provided and report back if successful with the install. cheers! |

Yeah, i did all the usual stuff, it just won't work. I set up a dual boot and screwed it up and had to reinstall. Just tired of the dual boot headache and decided it's windows 10 or nothing. The last option would be to buy another copy of cod2 from steam and see if that works. |

Hey Guys, I registered here because this is the only place on the internet i could find in regards to Windows 10 and COD2. I upgraded to windows 10 and was able to run COD2 but it was a little laggy for me. So, I did a clean install of Windows 10 and have not been able to install back onto a Windows 10 system. Has anyone had success installing cod2 on Windows 10? i have tried about everything possible with no luck. It gets to the very end and just quits. It's like it is in the very last verification step and then has a problem with NTDLL.DLL. I don't know what to do other than finally abandon COD2 for good. |
