czGLoRy Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 When i tried to install call of duty, i tried to play it and it said 2 missing sound files, so i uninstalled and tried to reinstall. Now when i put in the call of duty disc, the only options are to either play single, multiplayer or uninstall, and i cant do any of these because i have no files from the program on my computer- and there is no "install" option. Can anyone help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried rebooting, it doesnt work Edited May 1, 2005 by czGLoRy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Well if your disks are scratched and Activision is as crappy as EA about it then i say DL ISOs and just use your key. Should work just fine, Ive done this for a few games that have been scratchedup over the years and never had any issues. If you ahve problems finding them IM me on AIM tonight. I can't post here about such things (links to DL options), heck not really supposed to say to DL the ISOs , but obviously you have the game so you need to be able to play it I would start by e-mailing activision to see what their opinion is and se if they offer a free disk replacement.
