Hi everyone
i got a problem, i just bought a new computer, installed it and everything.
after that i installed cod 4 after installation downloaded the patches.
i start up cod 4, and at first i think nothing is wrong, but whenh i changed the resolution to 1280*1024 it went very slow, i joined a game, and everything went very slow, slow movement, when i tried to shoot, i clicked the mouse and one second later i heard the shot, does someone know this problem, i got the same problem with GRAW 2 , and FFOW.
is this my videocard or is it Vista?
my specs:
Acer
Windows Vista Home Premium
Athlon (tm) Dual Core processor 4850e
4.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 8200

please does someone know a solution, help is appreciated

It's most likely your video card. The 8200 seems to be an onboard gpu, so you aren't going to have the best performance in games. You may be able to play at a lower resolution or lower quality settings.

I have the same vid card, COD4 runs fine on 800x600

don't be greedy with the graphics, the game is still fun.

Yeah, your gpu is pants. If your planning on playing a lot of games, you should consider something more up to the task, check out the best video cards for the money article on this site for some ideas:

I agree it is your video card that is the problem not Vista...

Turn off anti aliasing in your graphic settings, usually it is on by default, now i can run COD 4 with medium to high graphics.
