I doubt it unless you did it yourself but doesnt hurt to look. Awards

I assume those two are similar. Did you check if the appropriate ports are open in the router? Typical is 28960 for cod4. I think 20810 also. Awards

Sometime when you uninstall a program no matter what you do there are always something left.. If you still cant get it PM me with a time and I can try and help... Awards

I second the above. Reinstall your OS. You are doing everything but that. Do a clean install of everything. Your are going to waste more time trying to find out what is corrupt than if you just wiped it all and started over. PingLo 1 Awards

Maybe try deleting all your mods and get em fresh. this is kind a unrelated, but maybe helpful.....i have been getting iw3'd when i hit the join game menu instantly, so I go to mods, click launch for mw2freeze...and no problem. At this point something like that cant hurt...can it? Awards
