I have just tried installing the game Call of Duty: United Offensive, but unfortunately, it does not work. I tried reinstalling both CoDs, it doesn't work. So, I tried the Activision help support page. It did not help either. So, it told me to turn off all programs. So, I turned off every single program it told me to. But, for one of the programs, it said it was going to restart. And well, it sort of did. It turned off, but when it tries to turn back on, it says theres something wrong with some kind of newly installed hardware. I tried starting in Safe Mode, but it wouldn't allow my to use my keyboard to select the choices. I triede everything else, like other keys, my mouse, my joystick, but still no luck. I have tried restarting it many times, but it still crashes.

While I tried to install UO, it would always freeze at the end of the installation, after it tells me to insert CD 1. So, I do, but it does absolutly nothing... So, I tried reinstalling both CoD's, but after I installed the first one, and tried the Expansion pack, it says something about the Installer Script error. Thats when I went to get help and they told me to shut down all programs.

I have reinstalled/reformatted my WHOLE entire computer earlier the last month, and I don't really feel like doing it again. So, is there any way that my computer and possibly UO will ever work again? Or are you going to tell me that I spent $30 to ruin my computer?
