i had some pretty major problems with both CoD and CoD:UO, when trying to run either i got this message "cannot load default.cfg, make sure call of duty is run from correct folder". luckily i found the solution on g2g, which was to unistall and delete the directory, re-install and install the latest patch. i would like to say that this worked but i couldnt even re-install the game. it gives me the option to uninstall or play, when i choose unistall nothing happens at all, and when i chose Single or Multiplayer it get a message that the game has been moved or deleted, and its stupid advice is to reinstall. i have search the complete hard drice for any reference to CoD but nothing comes up. plz help because i have been forced to start playin ghost recon again?!
cheers

No, its not bad advice to reinstall. Over time files can become corrupt or modified in a way that your application either wont run at all or run VERY poorly. There is NO way to repair these files except by RE-INSTALLING THE GAME.
How did you uninstall the game? Through control panel or start menu? Or did you just right click delete? Anyway, what you probably need to do is go into your registry editor (start->run, type regedit) and delete anything that has to do with COD. When you find it just delete it, then try to re-install.

i uninstaled from the autoplay options, deleted the directory, and ran regifix. ive just searched through my reg and there are no entries for CoD. it still gives me the option of uninstalling but there is nothing to remove, thats why i cant reinstall. thanks anyway, any other advice mate?

[ZEUS_GB]

Try manually uninstalling the game and expansion pack.

Hye zeus GB how did you get into being all technical and stuff. Did you study it or sumthin'?

[MrFrench]

thanks for the reply zeus, but the problem isnt that i cant uninstall either CoD or UO, the problem is that they are both completely uninstalled, there are no entries in the registry and the autorun wont let me install, it is still giving me the option to uninstall even though there is no trace of either left on my hard drive. i have tried exploring the cd and installing from there but it says that the wrong volume is in and please insert correct one. i havent got a clue what to do, plz help because ghost recon is garbage?!

[Casheti]

Im no tech expert but can u copy the files off of the cd?

[Casheti]

Or maybe you should partition the hard drve and install it on one side

[MrFrench]

ive managed to install it but now when i try to run it i get the famous windows "wonk", "fatal error". the game console opens and 23 sound files are missing. i patched the game with 1.5 but the same thing happens, here is wat it says:

How did you manage to install it. And don't throw it away. Ill have it, or use it for backing up stuff. OR wipe it and start a fresh.

[MrFrench]

can i fix it?

[Casheti]

I dont know, ull have to ask sum1 more technical
