KNOWN BUG: iw3mp.exe Error


If you're trying to play Call of Duty 4 and get the error 'iw3mp.exe' don't be worried, the usual fix for this is by updating your graphics card drivers, or doing a reinstall of your game + update of your graphic drivers.

So, don't freak out just:
a. Update your graphic drivers
b. Restart your computer + update graphic drivers
c. Update graphic drivers, windows drivers, restart your computer
d. Reinstall your game, and do all above as well.

If that does not work, just will have to wait for a patch. Sorry folks.

QUOTE
There are some issues running CoD 4 Multiplayer on some onboard sound cards. Users with RealTek™ onboard sound cards and Windows® Vista will need to use Microsoft Audio Drivers 6.0, which can be found at Microsoft. Users with Sigmatel® onboard sound cards need to install all Windows® Vista updates, and the latest Sigmatel drivers from Dell.com.

If you are running the game from a secondary partition, download the latest BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer in addition to following the above instructions.

Activision is working on a fix, and we will post as soon as we hear of one!
