Windows 10 and Call of Duty 2

[Tally]

Just ignore this message, set the compatible to XP SP2 or SP3 and the game will work.

When I use compatibility mode in Win10, I lose mouse control.

If you only see the original windows cursor and cant control the ingame one, just alt+tab to the desktop and back to the game.

Yep, that does the trick. No more black screen before the game launches. Thanks!

Already ignored this message and tried all compatabilities. Still doesn't work.

Doesn't work for me. I think the problem is somewhere in the installation path.
I will check for it.


Edit: I'm getting this error:

Couldn't load default_localize_mp.cfg. Make sure Call of Duty is running from the correct folder

That error is a common one when the game cannot find the /main folder. See here for full details:

In your case, I would guess that you have the old location of your COD2 install still showing in your Windows Registry entries. This means the game is still looking in the old location and can't find the /main folder any more. You need to either edit the registry entries (use RegEdit) to reflect the new directory location, or delete them completely and create brand new ones for the new install.

Hm I am not sure. I removed CoD2, removed all entries what in Windows Registry 'Call of Duty 2'.
But if I install it again and locate it to C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2 (instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 2), then it will still install in this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 2.
I think my graphic driver is the problem or something. NVIDIA GeForce made a update (for Windows 10 users). Or maybe it's the DirectX problem. I installed old version of Graphic Driver, but still won't work.
My Graphic Card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti.

I think that I am gonna reinstall Windows 10 Pro. My secondary HDD includes back-up files. So my files are in 30 minutes installed.


Edit: Reinstalled Windows 10. First I installed Call of Duty 2 (WinXP SP2). and started. Still same problem. Installed graphic Driver and DirectX. Still same Problem.
