You can also disconnect in the console and try entering the server again.

I don't think yea are getting it when I first try to connect to a server you get the setting up game...  then you are connect in the server to play I  am able to play but for some reason when I alt tab a window with setting up game is preventing me from alt tab to TeamSpeak and ect. Once I close cod4 I am able to Alt tab between windows like normal and before some one ask this I have a CD copy and I have reinstalled the game before and it continue to repeat

Yep, had this problem for a while after an update to Win 10 a year ago or so.  Solution @J3st3r pointed me to was using windowed mode instead of full screen.  Now it only crashes occasionally.  Crappy 13 year old 32-bit software that COD4 is.

Do you have Win10 ? Disable game mode and see if that works plus you can make a exception there to the games but I turned mine off because of a similar problem - right click windows icon bottom left of screen then settings then gaming then game mode

Don't Alt-Tab out? lol

 

Another bug is if you tap just the Tab button or CTRL while it's loading the game will crash rite to desktop.   Atleast it does for me.   Just let it load and don't touch anything.   If you "Have To" tab out, use the Windows key. You know the one that opens the start menu and looks like a little window on lower left part of the keyboard.

like yac said, cod4 is old and video drivers are not made for an old game like this, so maybe u should roll back to older drivers.

if the only game u play is COD4, never update drivers if it works.
