Graphic card drivers are out of date, also make sure to update the nForce chipset drivers. And keep in mind the comments in this forum about 3rd party codecs and Code Packs like "Nimos Codec Pack" or "Ace Mega Pack), I note you have plenty of codecs installed.

I have updated my video card driver and unstalled the one codec pack I could find that had an uninstall option. If you think I need to uninstall more codecs, could you tell me where I would do that and which ones to uninstall? to the best of my knowledge, I have never installed any. The ones I have must have been installed when other programs installed on my computer.

Hi, the graphic card drivers are now up to date as I see. But you still have a whole lot of third party codecs installed. Among them "Morgan Stream Switcher" which we found causes issues. We had a customer that had no problems at all anymore after uninstalling it.
You mentioned updating the nForce chipset drivers. What is that exactly?

PLease go to http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

There click on "platform/nForce drivers" and take it from there. these are updates for your motherboards chipset and onboard chips that you can install from within Windows (no BIOS fiddling needed).

Thank you all. I have followed the advice in this thread and I was able to play my fist complete game of WaW last night. Now I just need to read the instructions.

I still have some sound issues with WitP but it also runs now.
