[KaptCrunch]

try MS fix-it yet ? sounds the patches your getting aren't all there, missing something or your AV killed some script

try fileplanet com for patches

[cmac79]

fileplanet is where i got them...seems its a x64 issue from what i can tell but i can only find a fix for XPx64

I know I have played it on my PC with win 7 64 bit, can't remember how I got it working though, I think I just google searched and the solution popped up.

i googled searched it till i went mad and the only thing i could find was an xp fix and that didn't work for win7...im really regretting x64 win7 its been nothing but probs for me

then go in to activision folder (Program Files (x86)) Call of Duty - World at War and

right click CoDWaW.exe then properties then compatibility mode choose winXP sp3

and also do same for CoDWaWmp

nope thats a no go as well...i can start the game up no prob and play with all the hackers on 1.0 if i want but i can't install a single patch

[cmac79]

this is the fix for XPx64 but no luck with win 7 First: Control Panel - not using classic display

2. Click Performance and Maintenance

3. Administrative tools

4. click local security policy

5. Then click Software restriction policies.

6. When I did this there weren't any set. So you have to click action tab to create them. When you do so click onto enforcement.

7. Then select all users except administrator.
