To everyone getting an error when they try to play c.o.d 2 multiplayer with vista......Simply plug a pair of headphones into the microphone jack...sounds odd I know but it worked for me with C.O.D. 2 and 4 so I hope this helps people out

I'm having problem with vista and COD2 also. So far i figured out it's my onboard HD audio drivers. so hope this helps im still working on it 2!!!! good luck

To fix the Black screen problem, here's what you do:

1. Right-Click on the COD2 Shortcut and Left-Click "Properties".
2. Click on the tab that says "Compatibility" at the top.
3. Click the box and select "Windows XP Service Pack 2".
