I always seem to have problems with cod games

I downloaded the game everything went fine and then after i clicked on the game to play it it gets started then it exits me out and tells me...

error during initialization: unhandled exception caught

^for some reason i can't post a ss when that happens. it goes black.

Try reading the readme file.

error during initialization: unhandled exception caught

Try these steps first:

1) consult the readme to make sure your video card is supported.
2) update your vid card drivers
3) update DirectX
4) reboot your PC

If it's still happening after that, post a detailed list of your PC specs.

First, give it a minute or two on the black screen. Second, are you using ZoneAlarm or some other software firewall? If so, try to Alt+Tab out when you get the black screen and see if there is a prompt there asking for permission to allow the beta to access the net.

Sweet, good to hear.

Basic rule of thumb - kill all unnecessary programs (like anti-virus, IM, etc) that are running in the background whenever you go into a game.
