I can still see the profile on my hard drive but apparently the install messed up the UAC and the files roaming of Windows 7 Any idea how to fix it? Thx *SO*Armirol

More work but cleaner. However, did you do any backup before upgrading? Did you have and UAC enabled before the upgrade? If that is all the same, try making a backup of your profile if not done already and re-install COD4 and then restore your profile. Awards

I always have problems replacing my game profiles.It always resets my stats the 1st time I load in after replacing the profiles.I'm running dual OS atm.Win 7 on 1 HDD and Win 8 on the other.I really want to ditch the Win 7 instalation but no matter what I try it always resets my profile.Ranks,perks and achievements all get reset.
