he does really nice work....very talented.....

I looking to purchase a 3 axis CNC machine.... Anyone have experience with these ...both good and bad feedback welcome?

no one showed up....

As someone who has had 11 knee operations between both knees and full replacement twice on my right knee.....with the left knee being scheduled as we speak.... I definitely know the experiences you are going through. Time is the healer. You can't rush it. You shouldn't compare yourself to others who have had it done to determine if you are progressing well or not. Everyone is different. The pain sucks...period.... but overtime it does get better. Key things that helped me in my recoveries were: 1)Elevate knee above the horizontal.....if you don't the blood flows downwards and the knee/leg will throb more. 2)ICE the knee religiously. Icing will significantly reduce the swelling and corresponding reduce the pain. Ice packs are good. CryoCuff, (google it), is even better. If you're able, and it is the absolute best way to address the swelling....google GameReady. These devices I have used for a number of my surgeries they are excellent. These devices are used by a lot of pro sports teams. It isn't magic, and it is not the most pleasant thing to use but it is highly effective in managing the recovery of the knee. You can rent them...... 3)Drink lots of fluids but stay away from the sugary types. Hydrating yourself is very important. The downside to this is you will need to get off the couch to go pee and it is painful to get there and back to the washroom. 4)Increase your fibre. Don't laugh unless you've been there and understand what I'm saying. Pains med typically are not nice to the digestive system. 5)When you are not icing or sleeping...get off your butt and walk. Yes it will hurt to the point you want to scream and yes there were times I definitely had tears in my eyes.....but you need to get up and moving. Start with using the walker. Then crutches after a few weeks. Then graduate to using a cane. It will be your best friend from many a weeks. Forget about moving fast...stay in the slow lane!!! Oh ya.....remember to lift your leg when walking cause it hurts like hell when you forget to and it drags or hits something. I definite cussed more then a few times when I didn't stay focused on the mechanics of how to walk. 6)DO YOU EXERCISES multiple times a day. Yes it is not pleasant. Yes it will hurt until you want to cry....but do them. Always make sure you take your pain meds before doing the workout. Don't try top be the hero. From experience the less you do your exercises and walking the longer the recovery period will be...... The days can be long and rest assured.....the nights can seem much longer especially when you are in pain......you will get through it. Set some simple goals each day to focus on that are not related to the knee. This will help the mental recovery part of the process. Hope this helps and let you know you are not the first to go through it.... and you will get better. Cheers!

re-downloaded 1w3mp.exe and we are good to go thanks all for your help

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?

found file.... tried and no luck...grrr

where would I find the existing iw3mp.exe file?

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

Thks

Thanks for your follow-up and comments. It appears that the issue was associated with "Sync every frame" setting in COD 4. I changed the setting to "no" and am now getting significantly higher fps. I will test setting my fps to 333 as well to see if it helps further. Cheers!

something went funky when I tried to cut/paste specs...here they are: 8 core processor Intel i7-9700k memory 16 gb (2 x 8 gb) DDR4 2666 MHZ Motherboard GIGABIT Z390 UD SSD Lexar PCIe M.2 480 GB Video GeForce RTX 2080 Windforce 8 GB GDDR6 Power 750 w HD WD 4 TB 5400 rpm Windows 10 COD 4 primary game.... Did I miss anything?

Monitor is 27 inches....Samsung Resolution 1920 x 1080 in windows 10 display setup with Fixed scaling On". I change game to same and will monitor impact. Game set at 75 Hz. not sure of impact this has...... FPS is 60 +/- and 16.0 cg ms/frame Thoughts?

Purchased new pc with Geoforce rtx 2080 video card. Also running I7-9700 processor In game graphics are awesome when not moving. I can actually see the opponents for a change. When I am moving around the image is shaky/blurry and difficult to focus. This means it is extremely hard to shoot or sight to shoot. Totally sucks and makes game play not worth the time of day. Ping is typically in the 60-70 range. Any suggestions as to possible setting changes or where to go to improve the situation. Cheers!

Thank you for everyone's feedback and help. 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!

Thanks for the PB legacy files. 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?

Bought new PC...download COD 4 from Steam. 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!

Thanks for feedback. Found that for some reason the Input Device for Stereo Mix had been disabled. Once I enabled it everything was fine. Go figure???? Hope this may help someone else should the same problem occur. Cheers

Windows 10 just did update and now I am unable to run COD 4. All other COD games are fine. The desktop shortcut appears to be going to correct drive and folder. There is a iw3mp.exe file present 3252 kb After attempting to connect a file iw3mp.exe is in the folder with 1 kb. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

guess this was a bust...no one showed up at 3 nor at 8. Disappointing...

that worked Dee...thank you!

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?

Thanks for feedback. I don't run the program through Steam. any other suggestions?

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
