COD 4 'exits to desktop' solved!
 

If anyone has this problem (demo or full game) where the game just exits to the desktop after the intro movie, rename the 'miles' folder to something else, supposedly you'll lose background music but I honestly can't tell, everything sounds just fine!

The minimum specs for this game are misleading, it runs damn good on my old system, ATI x800 pro, 1gig ram, AMD 32bit 'single core' 3ghz.

Minimum specs say a 64bit dual core CPU is needed... rubbish! :)

This game is seriously worth every penny.

Same problem. I didnt find anything to fix that. I was trying many things: drivers, directX,own settings in nvidia.....nothing.

Will be great if anybody could help.

Try rename mssmp3 file to: "mssmp3.bak" (without ""). This should help.

Oh, this file is located in miles folder.

Yeap I made it and it works. Plus I completly remove my motherboard drivers and install again.
Probably this 1st step help for me.

So Thank U Very Much "The_Digital" :D

I installed Call of Duty 4 (multiplayer) . .When I start multiplayer mode first it asks for safe mode and which ever i pick the following happens.. I see the main screen for one second and it crashes to my desktop frozen for me to restart and have it happen again. I thought since the multiplayer wouldnt work ill just play the single.. well I start that and get to the main screen and 1 second later it doesnt crash, it just kicks me off onto my desktop (........???)

Before I was playing Call of Duty 4 and there were crashes decently often but I was able to play.. I just restarted my computer and played again..

Then this big mess happened where i updated drivers and they didnt work and it got all screwy and now i have these drivers that work for other games but the 1st problem on top i mentioned is happeneing. I have the latest direct X 9 and other games work ( company of heroes, counter-strike source)
If you have ANY idea please tell me...

Do you know which graphic card you use?
