btw: i think i have updated all the drivers on my pc, but just to be sure, is there software that i can download that will scan my pc and check if all drivers are up to date (and maybe help with getting the newest drivers)
so i got the game working over the w'end....i could play online but it would crash every now and again, but the single player didn't work, so i googled a bit, and combinded 2 "possible" solutions that i found.

first i uninstalled and reinstalled directx (k, i used the directx from mw2 and not from black ops, just incase), and then i downloaded the new gfx drivers again from nvidia and now "touch wood" all seems to be working single player and online - although i haven't played more than an hour on each since the fix
