I've tried various compatibility modes and running as administrator with no luck. I don't think it's a PB issue because the game won't launch at all, and PB shouldn't come into play until after I'm on a server. During the install when it asked if I wanted to install PB, I said no, because I had just installed COD5 and figured that also installed PB on my system. I ran the PB legacy updater for COD5 and it works just fine. Do I need to reinstall COS4 and then during the reinstall, tell it to also install PB again? Or is this some other problem. Anybody got COD4 up and running on Win 8.1? Thanks... Edited December 12, 2014 by HarryWeezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

So I don't think that's the problem. By the way, I downloaded all of the patches from the clan download directory except the 1.6-1.7 patch which is an RAR and I didn't want to screw with that so I grabbed the .exe elsewhere. But the game appears to be properly patched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Googling it finds lots of folks having problems running COD4 in Win 8.1 but I did come across something that jogged my memory of trying to get it working when Win7 came out, involving stereo mix. I'll try this on my lunch hour: "If you are playing Call of Duty 4 on Windows 8, and you encountered following error : iw3mp.exe has stopped working , this is how you can fix it. First, go to Control Panel, Sound, and then click on recording tab. When in recording tab, right click and mark "show disabled devices". There you should see "stereo mix" , just enable it and go play Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare.The fix in this post works 100%, but not all systems are the same. Another trick is to plug in your headphones in the headphone jack. After that you can unplug them when the game starts."

Ok on the mic plugged in how will that affect my headset mic? I take it I cant use both because you cant enable both plug in mic and headset at same time so the game wont see the plugged in mic?
