Make a backup copy of your config_mp file, and save it on your desktop You could edit your config_mp file, which is located in Activision/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/players/profile/'yourplayername'. change this line: seta r_mode "800x600" (don't know what it's set to now, but this is base resolution and should work) I have not tried this, but it may work. I'm running Win7 and it won't let me edit the file.. but you should be able to in vista. Use Wordpad or notepad to open the config_mp file. Make sure you uncheck 'always use this program to open files of this type' if it shows up. If that doesn't work, you can just replace the config_mp file with the backup copy.

THANK YOU IT WORKS Good deal!!! And Nightraven, I figured out how to edit it in Win7. It was an administrator issue. Was able to save to desktop, edit, and put it back in folder.. prompted for admin stuff at that point and clicked continue. Little more effort, but works.
