CoD 5: World at War bizarre solo play problem

[davejuk]

Has anyone managed to get single player working under Vista x64?

I click solo play and get 2 options - New Game and Mission Select.

If I click New Game, it asks me what difficulty. No matter which I select, it just takes me back to the Solo Menu.

So I try the Mission Select option. There's only one option (Semper Fi), so I click it and again it asks me to choose a difficulty. So I choose one, and I'm back at the Solo menu.

Am I just being an idiot, or should the game be starting?

Also, when I click "Go Online" in the top right, the game crashes.

Yes, I've tried restarting it - also tried Windows XP compatibility mode.

Can you post your spec? Thanks.

Spot on; thanks a lot.

What a dumb problem for a game to have. An "Unable to load profile" message would have been a little more useful.
