CoD won't fully start up

[kaisey]

[Unfortunately this doesn't work for me - you said you could get to the menu though, so our problems are probably different :


I had the same problem only i have a hard copy CE. I got nothing, hard drive would start to work then nothing.
I was told that on board sound can effect some games (C97 realtek)
I went and got a USB head set and I got into the game (menus)
The game loaded but i got black screen, but sound is there, I then upgraded GFX card driver to the suggested 270.51 now when game loads it goes back to windows screen with no mouse.

I have similar specs to you guys core2 3ghz Nvidia 860gtx

Think i will get sound card next and disable onboard.
