When starting game for first time looks like it tried to install Punkbuster but it failed. Am able to play Single player. Click on Multiplayer option and screen just goes blank. Researched issue and it appears COD 4 Multiplayer requires PB to run.....is this correct? Where do i find "right" version of PB to run COD 4 Multiplayer? Appreciate any help..... Cheers! Awards

I am able to get into multiplayer now but unable to get servers to list. I made sure it was on Internet setting. I have a good internet connection. I read something about the servercache.dat file Is this the problem? Awards

You also need them to see the server list. See if it will let your over write them. If it doesn't that mean the patches you have installed are working properly. Here are the patches: http://neverdieeasy.com/angelz/cod4patches/cod41.6patch.zip http://neverdieeasy.com/angelz/cod4patches/cod41.7patch.zip Edited November 3, 2019 by Angelz

I changed the exe file as suggested and now the game works. Now hopefully, with the new computer, my game play will be better........ Cheers! Angelz and YACCster 2 Awards
