Any suggestions on how to fix......

Window 10 Home addition upgrade processed this morning and now unable to launch COD 4.

Can launch COD 4 software and select multiplayer then it just exits the game.

Thanks

I am fully updated on Windows 10 home right now with no issues so something might have just happened, I would first delete the config file then if that doesn't work goto cod4x.me and download the community patch and finally if that doesn't work then backup your profiles and reinstall the game.

Try replacing your iw3mp.exe ....Simply rename your old one (oldiw3mp.exe) and download and drop this one in its place (same folder)

Right click on the game .exe/properties/compatibility tab/check “Disable Full Screen Optimizations”.   See if that helps.

ok...so I found an old posting saying check Input Devices to ensure Stereo Mix was enabled. Well mine was disabled for some reason....I enabled it.

Able to start game but once I got to selecting server it indicates it is 1.7 not the 1.8 version I now have. How do I fix this?

At a loss myself with cod4 stopping.  Was playing this morning, stopped for lunch, came back and has not wanted to work since.  Game loads but as soon as I click to join server, it quits.  I've tried above to no avail.  Odd since it was working this morning.  Rebooted a couple of times and no-go.

Any suggestions?
