Hello to all

I found the solution, u will get ur cod4 crashed if u r using xfire for launching the game or if u already used it once and xfire is running in backround, it will still crashes, first att all try to exit xfire and try then, if the problem is still there u have to let pb services to run on desktop, set full control, after that is done u have to instal pbsvc again, and download pb files for Cod4 cuz Punkbuster is not supporting cod4 anymore, when u copy files to pb file of cod4 problem should be solved, those guys from Microsoft are not even tryin to help...

hope I helped, it workked for me

    Waiting for reply from Punkbuster, so at least they can confirm or deny this problem, will make sure to post back.

    Same here. Changed all settings described in wannabe solutions, nothing helps. Sometimes I play 20 mins and everything is okay, but then it crashes, no idea what have to be done for removing this problem. Very sad, seems W7 will be the best solution.

    Nope sorry, so far NOTHING of all the things i tried have worked.

    Changed files, ran comp. mode etc. etc.

    sometimes i crashes within a min, sometimes up to 20, VERY strange.

    Non punkbuster servers seem to work, need to double check and if anyone knows please post!
