Well I just bought COD4 and loaded it on my comp. Problem is when I click on the icon on my desktop to play. All I get is the cod4 picture and my mouse is an hourglass I wait about 5 minutes and nothing happens. LOL hopefully someone else had this problem and knows how to fix it. I did run the demo on my comp and had no problems. Well hopefully someone will know how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

The game needs 1GB of memory, so make sure you have at least that much. And if you only have 1GB, don't run any other programs in the background (I have only 1GB, and found that if anything else is running that eats up memory, the game won't load for me either).

I have 1.5 gb memory and my vid card has 256 gb. Maybe something is running in the background. Been having problems with my comp ever since I defraged it. Thanks for the help cory I am now going to take my ball and leave.

Hey Lloyd, did you choose to install punkbuster that came with the game and do you have the latest (Nov) DirectX 9.0c? I couldn't get Muncus' Cod 4 to work until I did that. Btw, just installing punkbuster did not work so I re-installed from the beginning and all was good.

Well I just got off the phone with tech support for COD4 and the tech told me some bad news. My processor is a AMD athlon xp 3200+, mmx, 3dnow, ~2.2ghz. What I need to play the game is a AMD 6400 2800+. I hope maybe one of you computer geniouses knows how to get around this. If not then I am stuck with a $50.00 game I cant play.

Lloyd, I know that processor will run it because thats what I have.
Keep tweaking. Lower all settings. Kill unwanted programs. I have a sweet config. file if you need it. This post has been edited by Shred and Burn: 11/14/07 8:14pm |

Lloyd there is a file that you need to delete(if indeed this is why the game doesn't load) look in....program files/Activision/COD4/miles.....and then the file.....mssmp3.asi delete this file....it will run fine on your machine then.(you should have gotten an error on game start up....iw3.exe encountered an error...blah..blah) this is what stops it from loading on a 32 bit xp proc.
