Uninstalled Steam and all cache, still no go. ATI X1950 256MB video, PhantomIIx4 3.40GHz, 4.00MB ram

Unfortunately I don't think that video card is supported. I would suggest a gfx card with at least 1GB memory.

You need to use 8 RAM.
Probably it will help.

Here is a copy of my reply to the post "Game will not launch".

Have just had a similar problem myself. CoD has been running fine but after a M/S update "Launcher.exe" failed and program shut down to D/T. Tried re-instal of Cod and Steam with no effect. Then tried system restore and every thing came right again. Looks like a faulty M/S update had caused the problem. Waiting now to see if M/S sends down another up date and if that causes the same problem.

Reinstalling all programs from the \redist\ folder may also help (or their newer versions from web).

It is also quicker to check game files/cache integrity in Steam game properties than to reinstall the whole game.
