I was away for two weeks. I saw the IP address for the WIP Freezetag mod, so I went to save it as a favorite. Upon launching Call of Duty 4, I would either see a black screen with music or a flickering screen with music. I updated my Nvidia drivers today after seeing this. I tried to read online what could fix this. I disabled Steam Overlay which did not help. Then, I was able to navigate the flickering screen to change Anti Aliasing from 4x to Off. That stopped the flickering but gave me a frozen screen in game. I can't always kill the game either with Task Manager so I have to restart my laptop. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it?

is Cod4 the only game you play on the laptop?

It could be your onboard graphics overheating (might be fluffed up inside) but if it runs other games then the problem would be unique to Cod4

You could run (in comand promt) DXdiag and that might point to a grarhics issue if it is driver or DX based

I believe it's a graphics driver issue. To didn't change anything did you? With the h game install.
