Below is a list of fixes for COD5, atleast the widespread problems. If your problem isn’t on the list below I suggest going to CallofDuty and signing up at their forums and see if you can’t get some help there. The biggest error seems to be with d3dx9_37.dll. So follow the directions and you should be good to go.
Please note that these fixes MAY or MAY NOT work for you. But this is the common way to fix your problem. I’m sorry if it doesn’t help you.
—————————
These are All/Most of the possible Fixes so far. Please note there is no guarantee any of these will work. “please note these can change at any time”
Unfortunately for me NONE of these work for me at all, but are said to work for others.
