Hey everyone i just wanted to tell you that my computer's driver got accidently deleted and so now i cant play cod for about 2-3 weeks so just wanted to tell you that. I might be able to get on in about a week or so if someone can tell me a good ordinary video driver for a dell (Windows XP Home Edition) so i could use all the help i can get. Plus geek squad is comin to look at it and they might install my new video card so i can play cod2 which would be awesome.

So please help me find a good Driver....

Thanks

more specifics please,

you could get the driver on through safe mode,

and maybe get a reinstall

or maybe even find it on your own,

maybe i have no idea what the hell i am talking about.

lol

Wolf did you try a System Restore?... please ask me if you don't know what that means, I don't mean a windows reinstall.
Did you try the suggested driver rollback last night ?[I was in Practice server but my vent was dead while you got advice - you need to restart windows right after the rollback for it to take effect]

System Restore you get to by;
Start/control panel/performance and maintenance/system restore [in upper left corner] then restore computer back to your old settings, then you may need to reinstall whatever you installed after tht point though.

It's odd driver rollback didn't work huh.gif
didn't you get a seperate cd [from Dell?] with all the drivers on it too?
Another alternative is to go directly to the video card manufacturers website [or Dell?] and download the drivers needed from there. Once installed they should auto detect your card.

Are you serious? Same thing is on one of the comps i use, thus partly explaining why i can only play for x amount of time, may i inquire to what you did to fix it? I tried using internet explorer, going to windows update, and then downloading everything, it fixed a problem (not realted to CoD), but created another. So basically, what did you do?

you should be able to go to dells site and download the drivers

"open gl" error do you mean... you may want to go back into the game and check settings/options... there's a gl entry in there,,, see if that needs to be switched from its current setting. Wish I could see your setup though to try and help sad.gif
