Yeah its a bug with the lastest patch for CoD4 with Vista. You need to plug a microphone in your Microphone slot to get CoD4 Multiplayer to work. I know its weird but the same thing happened to me and that was the only thing I could do to get it to work.

This helped me. Try doing both microphone and headset?

Re: call of duty 4 iw3mp.exe error

we are running xp not vista, although I did try the head jack and the game worked for about 5-10 minutes and then crashed. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Hi.
I've seen this work on a few occasion so try this:
Go into the main COD4 folder, then open the 'Miles' folder.
Find 'mssmp3.asi' and rename it to 'mssmp3.bak'.

Then try running it.

Re: call of duty 4 iw3mp.exe error

I am using XFire and have had this problem. I deleted XFire and it went away....
But... I was also advised to do the following.
go to start/control panel/sound/open the Recording tab, right click to see show disabled devices. click on stereo mix and this should take care of the problem. Unfortunately, I am using Vista and do not have the stereo mix option.....it may be on XP. If you are using x fire, delete it and the game will work.
