OK, Purchased Call of Duty4 and can't seem to get it up and running online.

First off I added the IP's in HLSW. it shows the 3 new {MOB} servers as COD4,
but launches the original Call of Duty? (Am I missing a setting here?)

The second problem I'm having is with changing any graphics settings.
I'm trying to change the screen size from 600x800 to 1280x1024.

Everytime I hit apply (in either single player or multiplayer) it dumps me completely out of the game and a pop up describes a unrecoverable Direct x error.

I've re-updated the Directx 9.0c with no help.

I'm running a Sony Viao laptop.
Intel Centrino (t7200 dual gore @2.0 Ghz)
2.0 Gig of ram
Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 card.

I should be able to run this game pretty easily.

Open for any suggestions.
