[Fix] Windows SP2: CoD / UO / CoD 2 Crashing Problems

[killzar]

this error is usually caused by windows Xp service pack 2
there are loads of threads on this topic if u just look,

u can un-install this and that will fix the error

The reason for this error is b'cuz the hack needs to inject itself into the game
sp2 stops it from doin this

The exe is used to load the dll "the hack" into the game,
sp2 changes the windows boot.ini file
so it stops the exe from loading the .dll into game,
hence the error message

one way to fix this is to remove sp2
my computer>control panel>remove programs>delete all things (SP2)

or there is "i think" a fix for sp2,
just do a search on the forum and you should find the fix i am
talking about.


Any other threads posted on this topic will be deleted/removed as soon as
i see them

hence the name of this thread,

Another possible reason for the "CoDMP.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" error:

Make sure you have a US / British copy of Windows and game. If you do not have a US / British copy of either, then you are out of luck. Do not ask where to obtain these versions.

Also, do the following:

1. Go to Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs.

2. Scroll all the way down the list until you see a bunch of Windows XP Hotfixes.

3. Next to the word "Hotfix," there is the Hotfix number (KB######). Write each of these Hotfix numbers down.

4. Go to www.google.com and do a search for each of the Hotfix numbers (one per search).

5. Look at the search results. If SP2 is mentioned, make a note of the Hotfix number.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have researched every installed Hotfix.

7. Be sure to make a backup of your system before uninstalling the Hotfixes that involve SP2. Once you have finished backing up your system, follow the on-screen instructions to remove the SP2-related Hotfixes.

If you still have no luck:

1. Navigate to your CoD directory.

2. Find the game executable (CoDMP.exe or CoDUOMP.exe).

3. Right click the game executable and click Properties.

4. Click the compatibility tab.

5. Under Compatibility mode, click the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 2000 from the drop-down list.

6. Click Apply and then click OK.

7. Retry the hack.

If all else fails:

Move to the United States and buy a new computer.

The following guide was originally posted by adamtrance. I have edited it to make reading easier:

I've done some research and now finally understand why hacks work for some people that have SP2 and why they do not work for other people.

Now let me explain. There is more than one version of SP2:

There is the "Beta" version called SP2 RC1 (Release Candidate 1), and after that came the real SP2 with the automatic updates and everything else.

Now the difference is that SP2 RC1 has the featureas of the SP2 but it still has the features of SP1, while the normal SP2 removed the SP1 features.

To find you if you have SP2 RC1, or normal SP2 do this:
1. Go to: Start > Run type in: sysdm.cpl ,press OK
2. Go to: Advanced tab > under Performance "settings"
3. And then go to the "Data Execution Prevention"

Now if you see something like this:

Then you are in luck. You can simply click "Turn off DEP" and voila! Hacks now work.
If you have the "Turn off DEP" missing, then you have the normal SP2 and this trick won't work.

If you do have the normal SP2, you need to obtain the Win XP Pro SP2 RC1 Integrated (no warez discussion allowed). You then need to delete Windows and install the new version of Windows from scratch.

I hope this cleaned everything up. Don't blame the coders if their hacks are not SP2 compatible! They're kind enough to share their hacks, so you should do a little work for yourself.

Bottom line: delete SP2 or install SP2 RC1!

Uninstalling SP2
This service pack contains an uninstall mechanism that you can use to restore your computer to its previous state. When you run W2ksp2.exe to install SP2, a subfolder named $NTServicepackUninstall$ is automatically created in your systemroot folder. To turn off this W2ksp2.exe option, see the Install SP2 earlier in this artlcle.
Important:
•
If you install any programs or services that require SP2 or that have fixes contained in SP2, uninstalling SP2 could adversely affect those programs.
•
If you turn off the automatic backup option for W2ksp2.exe, you cannot use the uninstall SP2 mechanism and, therefore, cannot uninstall the service pack.
