    Hello

    I wasn't sure where to post this so i'll post it here.

    Has anyone with a mobility X700, or more specifically an Acer Aspire 5024 had any difficulties running the Call of Duty 2 Demo?

    It installs and runs fine until you get past the screen with the button assignments as the game loads. After clicking to continue I get a blue screen and a restart for my troubles.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Cheers

    Jim

    I have 5024wlmi and don't have any problem running the demo. Try updated demo version, or updating graphic card drivers.

    I'd try updating the drivers. You can get the latest Mobility Catalyst 5.11's over at DriverHeaven.

    COD2 is very demanding on the computer's video card, so consider taking the resolution and settings down. (XGA and Medium, maybe SVGA)
