Yes I purchased MW2 and installed it, I'm running XP
home. When I click it- it doesn't do anything, when I set
it up on compatibility for 95 it will go to the start
screen but when I click start it shuts down. What do I
need to do to run this on XP?
 
Hi Wendel,

Unfortunately, when a game doesn't work using Compatibility
mode, the manufacturer of the game has to provide a patch.

This 2002 article from the manufacturers of MW2 about that
issue doesn't look promising. Sorry to bear the bad news.
