I just got COD4 and put it on my XP system. When I start it I get this error:

Error during initialization:
Video Card or driver doesn't support separate alpha blend, glow will be disabled.

Now, when I click on "OK" then the program shuts down, instead of starting with no glow. Whats wrong? I have a nVidia Gforce FX 5200 video card.

Any help would be greatly appericiated.

Yeah I have had the same problem the thing is Can you run it says i cant but this video card has ran it b4 its so confusing ive seen this guy play the game on a computer then remove the video card give it to me and i put it on mine but it wont play please someone help

Did you install the right drivers for the card? Also, just because the video card will run it doesn't mean your computer will. Your CPU might not be fast enough, you might not have enough RAM, etc... What did Can You RUN It? say you failed on?
