Original tilte : cant run  Call of Duty: World at War

Hi, I bought Call of Duty: World at War some 1 year back and was running nicely on my Dell XPS. I had to re-instal it recently but doesnt work anymore. T he window that pops up say 

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running. Ckeck your system information to see whether u need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64) bit version of the programme and then contact the software publisher."

I wonder if this game worked so well earlier, why not now when system settins and config are same

Win 7 home premium 64 bit

Intel core i5

RAM 4gb

hard drive 650 gb

Nvedia graphics 1gb

    Hi,

    a)      Open up your DVD folder (in My Computer right click your DVD and click on “Open”)

    b)      Then navigate to “Setup>Data>zone>english”.

    c)      So the address in the address bar should be “D:\Setup\Data\zone\english”

    d)      If your DVD-ROM letter is “D”.

    e)      You need to copy the needed file from here and paste it in your installation’s “zone” folder

    The zone folder is usually located in c:/ drive > Program files > Activision > zone

    If this does not address the issue, you may have to contact Activation for a replacement disk.
