Call of Duty 2 problem (DirectX error)

CALL OF DUTY 2 is not working.

ok, Ill start from the top. I came back from school and turned on my PC ready to have afew horus playign CALL OF DUTY 2 but as soon as I try and join a game it says "Punk Buster needs to be enabled" so I go to options and click enable. Half a second later my game closes down really fast anmd just leaves me with my desktop and it says: The instructions at "0x7c809783" referenced memory at "0x01f40030".
And a DirectX error before that one.

So I think, maybe I should restart my comp. I do that, no difference. I then re-install the whole game and then add the patch and so on. Still the smae problem. If I make any difference to my options or try to join a game or anything it will just go straight to my desktop.

So after afew otehr things tried I looked at the DirectX/activision website and I made sure lots of things and tehn at the end it said "Make sure you are up to date with your graphic card driver". So I think, ok. I then tryed to find a driver for my card but can't even find a website on google. So I go on ATI/AMD's website. I "find" as they said , your driver. So I said XP PRO, Radeon, X800 series and then it gives me teh supposed latest driver. I then download and install that driver. I re-start my comp. And I trie COD2 Again. It had noticed my hardware chnage and then I tried it. Exact same problem.

So to get to the point.

Have I got the latest driver?
Why has COD2 suddenly messed up?
Why is directX annoying me?

Any help or solution to this problem would be most appreciated. Sorry if this is a long peice of writing, I just needed to tell you the whole story so people don't say "Did you re-install it" etc.

Anyway thanks for listening and if you have any idea or have a similar problem, please tell me! Thanks!

Well you have went through all the normal steps. Have you reinstalled the pacth for the game that includes the punk buster code? WHat about you Direct X install? it can become corrupted. That's where I would start.
