    First of all, I did a clean install since i had Windows 7 RC. Everything has been going OK, i even got to play Silkroad for awhile.

    Then I installed CoD4, but i couldnt play at all. When i double clicked to get started i got a black annoying screen. When that $%& screen shows up i cant do nothing with the keyboard, so i do a shut down by pressing the button lol

    These have been my methods used so far:

    - installed latest drivers
    - Re installed Drivers
    - Directx up to date
    - Ran it as Administrator and that kind of start up stuff
    - re installed CoD4

    thats about it ...

    any more ideas what it could be? :(

    thank u 4 your time

    ehm according to the forum rules you need to translate everything in english. Otherwise your post will be deleted (this for now and future reference)

    I don't have it installed anymore so I'm not sure where they're located, but you can try to move the intro videos elsewhere. They should have .bik as the file extension. Other thing you could try is check the shortcut properties and have it set on maximized instead of normal window.
