    Doesn't installing Visual C++ 2005 runtimes fix this ?

    On some pc's it might but as far as i know that is the only fix, i tried installing Visual C++ 2005 but it would not work. It may be as cod 1 and uo are older games that came out in 02 but this also works with delta force black hawk down so it is not just a cod fix.

    Then try the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 runtimes , it's a good idea to keep 2005/2008/2010

    Yeah that also works i tried it last night but i like making my games run off usb's or from my external hardrive and if u copy this into the folder of the game it can run on any pc without the runtime. And it takes almost no time to download
