Just had a windows 10 update.....

Tried to start COD 4 and seems fine, logo comes up and then nothing. Just exits.

Could it be  an iw3mp.exe issue?

Rest of applications on PC seem fine.

Appreciate any help you can give...

Cheers

You run COD4 through Steam ? If so, it happened to a lot of people, but you'll find the solution in the forums !

I have always launched the game from my hard drive.... with a short cut on my desktop.

I tried going directly to Activision folder and iw3mp.exe file and tried launching it from there but get same result....pop-up asks if I want to open in safe mode. I tried both options of yes and no but outcome was the same...screen goes to COD 4 screen...pauses and closes.

It clearly is looking for a file and I guess doesn't find it and closes. I wonder what file it is looking for...any ideas?

Make sure none of your sound settings were changed after the update (sometimes reverts to default setting after Windows 10 updates). Specifically make sure "stereo mix" is enabled.

1 go to the control panel
2 go to hardware and sound 
3 then double click sound
4 then click the recording tab
5 when u have done that right click and then select show disable devices
6 then when stereo mix comes up enable it
