uninstall the game using revo uninstaller and then install the game again, it may have been just a corrupt install

yeah, it must have been a corrupt install or the files from your installer is corrupt. try another installer and see if it's still gets an error.

ok cheers at colleg at the moment will try it tonight and get back to you. downloaded the uninstaller you recommended

what shuold happen if i cant install it and run it a second time?

or shall i wait to find out and tell you.

iv played and completed the game 3 times now and uninstalled and re installed many times with no problems so dont know why it is happening now

cheers

Hi right used the software you recommended to remove it. I then restarted the computer and reinstalled the game. followed by another restart before attempting to start the game.

when i went to run it im still getting the origional error message and also noticed that when the message keeps poping up, i thought it was alerting me about the same file but when you read further into the error message, its alerting you of ither files that arn't working so its not just one file not working. Iv'e never had this problem with the disc and when installing the game on the same computers i used to play them on. could the disc be damaged? however the installation runs with no problems, its just getting on to it.

What do you suggest i do?

Thanks

any other games giving you this error?

[Tiber Septim]

Try going into your COD4\miles folder and rename mssmp3.asi to mssmp3.bak.

[Morgiee]

Iv'e tried that previously tiber septim, but with no luck

ill try the direct x 9 tonight.

^^^ general enquiry what differance will the direct 9 do to the one provided by the game?

Thanks

[Mcninjaguy]

the link for directx 9 we give is the latest version the one from the COD 4 isn't the latest version
