    I'll admit, when it comes to computers, I'm a rank amateur, so I apologize if I'm overlooking the obvious ( it's not obvious to me :(.

    Replaced old computer and installed previous games, including COD and COD United Offensive.

    Kept getting message to log in as administrator so I went into COD Properties/Compatibility and changed it to 1st) Windows 8 (and Run this program as an administrator), and then subsequently to Windows XP Svc Pk 2. When I click on run however, nothing happens.

    Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Is the COD game from 2003? I see nothing for United Offensive. Upon further looking I see it is an expansion pack for COD (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...er-since/ea6bf70f-1356-4dff-80a4-ed83995e8bb4)

    The COD has to do with DRM built into Windows 10. It is explained in this thread
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...er-since/ea6bf70f-1356-4dff-80a4-ed83995e8bb4

    Note: I don't run Windows 10 and also don't have any COD disks so all I can do is point you to possible solutions.
