Call of Duty Black Ops directx error

I have a late 2009 MacBook Pro 13" running windows 7 under bootcamp. I've previously been using xp and installed Call of Duty Black Ops and it ran slowly. I upgraded to windows 7 64bit to make the most of my ram but it now won't run Black Ops. When I try launching the game it pop up an unrecoverable directx error. I have been trying to reinstall directx using the new versions and also the one on the install disc. Anyone know how to sort this problem out?

MacBook Pro 13", Mac OS X (10.6.5), iMac G5 intel

You can't get Nvidia mobile driver to install? even after uninstalling Apple's Nvidia version, and uninstalled the driver from Device Manager?

In device manager it put my graphics card as a standard VGA graphics adapter even thought it's an nvidia geforce 9400m... I'm downloading the driver they have on the nvidia website for my graphics card while running windows, I'll let you know what happens.

Hi Ed, I have the same MacBook than you. Does it work ? Is Black Ops playable ? Not too much lag with Win7 ?

Thanks !

Hello Ed, I to am running Windows 7 32Bit Home edition. I have the same error, when I go to start it up it won't even get to the first loading screen before it gives the error. I have looked in other places for the awnser but all of them seemed to be able to get it working for a bit before it gave them the error. I'm new to windows and stuff, so if you could explain how to do it step by step that would be great.
Thanks for all your help in advance 🙂

Ed said "it worked" but not what and how.

The thread's "Green" icon = "Solved" though.
