windows xp serial number but no install disc....?

I run it fine...but use XP not Vista....Vista s a resource hog

Yeah I now know i need to run it on XP, luckily enough I have XP on my old pc but can't find the XP install disc!! I do have the registered serial number though and the version info etc. Can you download XP from anywhere or from Microsoft and enter the sn?

I got A Plastation 3 for Christmas, & COD 4 for my birthday, I have been trying to play it but the fact that I've played on my computer so long makes it awkward. I think I might have to pick up the Mac version just to play it good.
Can you play it with a playstation 3 with a Keyboard & mouse?

i don't think you can. I would've bought an xbox 360 and gotten halo 3 the day it was released if they were sensible enough to let you use a keyboard and mouse with the system, but they don't.

Their TECHNICALLY is a way, using a peripheral you can get online (might be one for PS3 also), but it's not really allowed, and if you get caught using it on xbox live you will be banned... because using the mouse gives you an unfair advantage over people with the controller -_-

In Halo 2 for Vista, you can actually use either the mouse and keyboard OR plug the xbox 360 controller into your computer. To compensate for the controller disadvantage what they did was give the controllers a small amount of auto aim.
If you were to use the mouse with the 360 though, the system would still think you were using a controller, so you'd STILL get the auto aim, even though you're using a mouse.

And baz-ireland, do you have the firmware updated on your imac? I'm not sure if it would make a difference when you're running it in bootcamp, but I think it might. I know some of the newer imacs had problems with the graphics cards at first. Until the firmware update I know that you couldn't play bf 2142 on them, for example. In that case though, you could still launch the game... things just didn't look right.

Viruses....YUK.... reminds me of those bad old PC days!!


baz.

in order to get a virus..you have to do something

you have to go to a sketchy site or open a sketchy file....if you sit on the internet and don't do anything silly you won't get a virus

i used windows for years and never got a virus

Just installed Vista using boot camp. I ran cod4 pc version. It simply doesn't work!! Error message 'encountered unrecoverable error'. I have tried every known fix. Still the same error message. I think it is an issue with DirectX and also the grahpics card on my iMac 2.8ghz. My graphics card is the ATi Radeon HD 2600. I see the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and is not upgradable!!!!! Vista also runs very slow and media centre's appearance is 'blurred'. I have the display settings set to max. Makes you appreciate Leopard. The iMac isn't a gaming machine I know, wish I'd invested a few more pounds and bought a MacPro machine!! It will be interesting to see how the COD 4 Mac version runs on my machine. Don't fancy buying an Xbox360 or PS3 as I like the keyboard/mouse control over the controller. Anyone else got COD 4 running on an iMac via Windows?

Did you install the video drivers? I think Nvidia has some new ones out for bootcamp (as of the end of Jan.). If this runs so good on my MBP, I cannot see any reason for it not working on your machine. As a side note; I found a setting in the options to go from 4:3 graphics to 16:10 graphics (I have a widescreen external monitor) that I never noticed before - switching to 16:10 doubled my framerates and really improved the game.
