Vista - Cod4

i run vista ultimate x64, and after installing the newest patch (1.6 or .7, cant remember) of COD4 i was able to play it a few times. but it has since quit working. anyone else had this problem? if so have u been able to fix it?

What happens when you try and run the game?

i just get a message saying iw3mp.exe has stopped working. windows is checking for a solution to the problem. it will start booting up and then quit.

Ah, gotcha. That's not a Vista thing, per se, it's a known issue in Call of Duty: Call of Duty 4 Forums

You should probably read through them before applying a fix. Apparently it all boils down to your onboard sound.

alright sweet ill give it a try. thx man

turns out it had something to do with my sound card. just used this to fix it.
-Start, control panel
-Hardware and Sound
-Sound
-Recording Tab
-Right Click in window, chose "Show Disabled Devices"
-"Stereo MIX"appeared, Right Click and choose enable

you must click tight icon than choose run as administrator

cheers essysin2 i was looking for the answer every were i just tried it and it works lol cheers

i also had this problem,another fix for it is putting something in the Mic jack on your soundcard or intergrated sound.

just plug some headphones into it when you click on the cod4 shortcut and when its loaded unplug em.

works.

i have that problem i installed all the patches and i tryd to go on multiplayer but that error came up so i completed singleplayer and multiplayer worked :S
