if you don't know what kind of video card you have....then it probably wont run cod hehehe...but to be sure

download and run this http://www.geekstogo...=download&id=13 then attach a report with your next post

jeeze...that's a little hard for me to describe as i can't run that utility (it's a home program and i'm on a domain computer at work so it won't even install...which is a bummer...)....there should be a button somewhere that says save log?

[helphelphelp]

well ok nvm its not that big of a deal. thx 4 the help

[dsenette]

well...let's do this an easier but less informative way right click on my computer...then choose manage...then device manager...click on the + next to display adapters....what does it say there?

[helphelphelp]

i dont see display adapter anywer

It should said display adapter in the righthand pane. If it doesn't you could try downloading and running Sysspec.

sysspec (download link at bottom of page).
When it opens click the system button > then click the down arrow next to system > click info to clipboard > click ok when it says that it was copied to the clipboard > reply here and paste the info here.

[warriorscot]

Weve got the required gfx cards pinned in this forum just check it to make sure youre ok, and make sure to get a PCI-E slot in your new pc its fairly essential.
