Call of duty 4, mss32.dll not a valid x64 program?

Hi,

I tried installing CoD4, but when I try to run the game, it tells me mss32.dll isn't a valid x64bit program, (or something near that)
Is there a fix for that, or an update?

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked with the game manufacture?

Make sure that your audio card drivers are up to date, there have been some strange issues with the game due to out of date audio drivers. Once you have the latest drivers for the audio and your video card you may want to re-install the game. Once it is installed update to the 1.4 game patch. Make sure your anti virus and firewall are off when playing online, they can interfere with multiplayer. Also go to evenbalance.com and update your punkbuster----punkbustersetup.exe

U shouldn't be disabling AV and Firewall, but putting all the Game exe's
as well as the Punkbuster exe's into the Firewall as allowed. No
problems turning them off to find out if that is a cause of a problem,
but then go and make the program work with your security.

There is a small Free program called "Vista Firewall Control", works
excellently with Vista and blocks everything until you allow it. Also
the free Avast AV program, has caught many nasties for me and also works
a treat under Vista. I have both these running and playing COD4 on line
without a hitch.

Did you EVER think that the error generated is correct?
Think about it: Under Vista x64, a "32bit dll" is OVIOUSLY "not a
64bit Program." You must use a 64bit dll or executable if you want to
"fix it".

Well, I guess so, but it doesnt explain why it wont start...the game should be playable in both 32 and 64.....I install it on a 64 system....why would it call for 32 dll after the install? I wish I knew....Where can I get a 64 bit DLL?? Same place as one can get a 32 DLL I imagine?
Thanks for the responses all.
