My COD4PC has stopped working once upgraded to Windows 8, the error I am receiving is caused by a Punk buster malfuction, caused by a faulty module named "PBCL.DLL" in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4\pb" folder, playing in non punkbuster servers will run fine, then when I go into PB enabled servers the game will result in a crash. *Worked fine in Windows 7.

Error from Event Viewer:

    Hello.

    Click and domnload this file http://mediafire.com/?gtva9wawv84al2g

    • Select the rar/zip that you downloaded right click and select extract here
    • open the game directory and look for the file name **iw3mp.exe (**search all folders in the game to find it)
    • select and move the file from your game folder and save it in a safe location of your choice
    • copy the downloaded file iw3mp.exe and paste it in the same location where the original one was.....run the game
    • you can reverse it if unsuccessful

    Worked?
