Hello everyone[:)] i'm new here nd nice 2 meet u all . i get the same DirectX irrecoverable error thing when i start Cod2 . thing is i use a built in Intel(R) 82945G Graphics Media Accelerator 128MB video card . i have the latest directx 9.0c but in dxdiag control's display tab , the AGP texturing feature is shaded and i cant access it . does Cod2 require AGP texturing? does Intel(R) 82945G Graphics Media Accelerator 128MB has any AGP texturing feature? if it does then how can i enable it in dxdiag?? because i have played many other games like Cod1+expansion , GTA san andreas and half-life2 on it and i am pretty sure the require AGP texturing . so whats the deal with Cod2?
