Ok... I picked up MW3 gold because I actualy liked MW3 when I had it before (don't ask, it's a long story involving many moves).

So, I install it. And run into my problem.

Instant action works fine.
Training works fine.
Campaign crashes to desktop when I try to accept a mission.
Pirate Moon update CD that came in it fails to verrify the MW3 CD and so won't install.

System is a AMD Athlon 800, Geforce 2 MX (so sue me.. I'm not made of money). Running XP (because I needed to rebuild my system and that was the only OS cd I had).

Ideas?

if i had to guess...id say its a bckwards compatibility problem; not that im a genius about XP ( i dont evne have it--good ole '98!), but i did hear somewhere aroumd the net that Micro$haft did not make backwards comp. a important feature in XP. I think it was ZDnet that i heard that on.

Though I don't have and can't comment on PM, I've been getting the exact same behavior on my 2K rig, so it seems relatively certain it's an NT problem.

Try the "Windows 98/ME" compatability mode. I use it, and have experienced no problems under XP.

At least it halfway works on your system. Because it hates win2000.
