The most common cause of this problem is not entering the Key Code exactly as it appears on the back of the manual. Try re-entering the Key exactly as it appears on the manual. Note that this is not case sensitive – it will always input in CAPS.

Your CD drive may be trying to Autoplay the splash screen of the remaining disks. Call of Duty 2's installer has a way of knowing if the game, another Call of Duty 2 splash screen, or an instance of the installer is running; when it detects one of those is running, the Call of Duty 2 installer attempts to suppress the autoplay splash screen from running. You can solve this by pressing the <LEFT-SHIFT> key when inserting the other discs during the install. This will tell Windows not to play the splash screen and may solve your problem.

If you have multiple drives capable of reading the disc then try installing from your other drive(s)

Download Nero DriveSpeed from here. This freeware utility from Nero will allow you to slow your drive speed down, in increments, all the way to 2X. Try setting it to 8X. Some users may have to choose other settings to get optimal results. Your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM must be ATAPI/IDE. SCSI is not supported.

If you receive an ASPI related error message when running Nero DriveSpeed, you may have to update your ASPI layer.

Set your CD-ROM drive or IDE channels for the CD-ROM to run in PIO mode 1 or a lower setting then it currently is at through BIOS.

Zone Alarm has also been known cause some issues with the installer. If you currently have Zone Alarm installed it is recommended that you uninstall the program, install the game and then you can re-install Zone Alarm on your system.



Windows Defender and Microsoft Office 2007 have been known to cause errors with the installer. These include errors referencing "msvcr80.dll" and "mpShHook.dll." If you currently have either program installed, it is recommended that you uninstall the program, install the game and then you can re-install Windows Defender and/or Microsoft Office 2007 on your system. If you do not want to uninstall these programs you can try installing or re-installing Microsoft .Net 2.0. You can get it here.

If the game previously worked then it's more than likely that you have a damaged CD/DVD. You can contact us via phone or through the web to arrange for a replacement.
