CoD freezes.

Hi guys,
I just got CoD united offensive and have played a little single player, then a little multi. On single player I set detail to 32bit. As soon as the game started it froze, I used task manager to end it then the screen went very pale as if one colour was missing. I reset it to default (16bit?) and it plays ok. Then I tried multi and it froze again and went pale again. The only way to get my colour back is to reboot.
Anybody know what this is?

    Like this.
    Edit, now I've rebooted the picture I've posted looks fine, what's happening?

    That sounds weird. I think one way to reset the color without rebooting would be to temporarily change one of the display settings (like desktop color depth or resolution). But I dunno about the CoD problems

    I ran the cat uninstaller but don't think it worked. After rebooting my resolution was still at 1024 so I downloaded it again from here and ran that. It still didn't seem to uninstall the drivers but I installed the new ones anyway. Everytime I've ran the uninstaller in the past it's set my resolution to the lowest until I change it back. The freezing and colour change thing has gone but the game doesn't run smoothly at all. If I try to go through a door for example, it will jump and I'm next to the wall six feet away from the door, it may take a couple of trys to get through. It will jump like this sometimes just running around outside. This is optimal settings and low ping servers (40-60) Anybody suggest which drivers to use? This PC ain't no slouch and should run this better than it is.
    Thanks.

    I ran the uninstaller again and this time it did the biz. Installed the drivers and it runs lovely. I don't know why it ddn't the first time but it's sorted now.

    Make sure, if you have an onboard video controller, that you fully disable it throught the BIOS. Sometimes they can butt in and mess things like that up. Also, make sure you disable "Fast Writes" in your AGP settings. Hope that helps.
