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

    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?

    If this is THE Same file as THE outher forum topic related to cod 4 mp. Than it worked for me.

    Replacing THE exe worked! No more crash!

    well it is the same .exe as the outher forums.

    i have tryed playing single rounds. i will try 5 rounds friday next week.

    i stand corected. the .exe doesent work. now i get the error mesage again.

    i still think its windows 8 fault. cod worked on xp/vista/ win 7. but not on win 8 and the win rep on this forum says that we have to report the error to activision. well thats just BS. if cod works on all windows versions except win 8 its clearly a windows problem.

    im downgrading back to win 7. i will check this forum frequlently to see if a anser is found.

    greats all.
