    I got a dx problem with cod2 too. when I try to change my graphics settings, the game exits and after 20 seconds or so I get a unrecoverable dx error. I tried uninstalling dx and reinstalling from my windows cd and after that reinstalling dx9.0c and installing the october redist. all without succes. does anyone have some other ideas?

    yup. that's the exact same thing im having here. resets itself everytime when I try to change it. the only way to change my settings is to manually change the values in the .cfg file

    Try deleting these folders:
    C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\uan99\players
    C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\main\players

    Also look for hunkusage.dat and delete all instances of it.

    You might want to back this stuff up in case I'm an idiot...
    You will create a new profile the next time you start the game.
    Hope you don't play single player much...

    Try setting the hardware acceleration for your sound card to Basic acceleration(in the direct x settings)goto run the type dxdiag then goto the sound settings and slide the slider down.

    this worked for me...i then set my resolution and reset then all other settings..it worked..

    ok ive sort of narrowed it down

    its either GAIM, XFIRE, Symantec Corporate AV, or Daemon Tools that causes this

    im gonna assume its xfire or symantec, since theyre the only ones that update pretty much daily...
