Problem with Call of Duty 2.

I just got a brand new gaming pc with Windows Vista installed in it. Anyway, Call of Duty 2 doens%26#39;t install correctly. When I start up the game, everything is normal from the menu then the game itself doesn%26#39;t show up. I can see the HUD but the entire screen is smokey and nothing is showing. What%26#39;s the deal? I tried HL2 and it works fine.Problem with Call of Duty 2.
probably should have got xp... vista is crap for gaming.Problem with Call of Duty 2.
It%26#39;s not so bad since it works with every game I%26#39;ve tried it on except Call of Duty 2. I also like the DX10. I just don%26#39;t understand though why CoD2 won%26#39;t work. It won%26#39;t even install properly...when it finshes installing, the window doesn%26#39;t pop up asking me if I want desktop icons and the finish window doesn%26#39;t come up either. Just goes out of install and that%26#39;s it. The multiplayer doens%26#39;t work at all.

Find the exe that starts the game, right click on it and choose properties. There should be a %26#39;compatibility%26#39; tab or something there that allows you to select XP compatibility mode. 
Ok, just tried that for both multiplayer and single player. The multiplayer now works so thanks for that. The single player when I changed it to Xp, it kept saying please insert dvd-rom. So I changed it back and loaded it up and now it works perfectly. So your method helped, thank you!
