I can click it to run and the screen turns back like it's running . Then a screen comes up that says it appears this game didn't close properly do you want to run in safe mode? The first couple of times I said no and it died. So I retried and said yes to safe mode it flickered a few seconds and died again. Any suggestions?

Dean, do you have your mic plugged into your PC?  Not 100% sure, but COD4 may be one that looks for a mic device.

I don't believe you need the disc for multiple player but pretty sure you do for single player.

There are 2 things that will make the game crash when trying to join a server.

#1 no Microphone detected.

#2 game version mismatch, especially if you happen to be using the Steam version which auto updates to version 1.8.

Do we have the 1.7 availble in house or where do I need to go?

I assume from your reply on a different thread that you run COD4x is that correct?

If so then you don't need to worry about patching

Here is a link to instructions on how to install COD4x

Also tell Steam to not update the game
