Question Call of Duty 1 won't start up

[Anastasia75]

Hi, I would like to start the whole series Call of Duty in solo mode but after downloading the first Call of Duty, when I run the game in solo or in multiplayer the Call of Duty logo appears, followed by a black screen during 5-10 seconds and a return to the desktop without any error messages.

I specify that I have Windows 10 and a GTX 460. I tried different techniques to launch the game, without success; I renamed the launcher "mohaa.exe", I changed the parametes for 16 bits sounds, I tested the compatibility's parameters and Legacy Components/Direct Play.

And finally, I installed and uninstalled the game several times without it working.

Could you help me to solve this problem ?
I thank in advance all the people who will help me to solve this problem.

If your system has integrated graphics you can also try forcing it to use your discrete GPU by setting Preferred Graphics Processor in Nvidia Control Panel to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

I would also be careful what driver you use for a model of GPU that old. Often times with Nvidia GPUs you have to roll back to older drivers for models that are several gens old.

Thank you very much, it was due to the GPU driver, I change it for a 2017 driver of GTX 460. Thanks again
