DIRECTX CRASH AT LAUNCH

CRASH WITH REALTEK ONBOARD SOUND CARDS

Users with Realtek(TM) onboard sound cards and Windows(R) Vista will need to use Microsoft Audio Drivers 6.0, which can be found at www.microsoft.com

CRASH WITH SIGMATEL ONBOARD SOUND CARDS

There are issues with running the game and using Sigmatel(R) onboard sound cards. If you are experiencing this issue, and you are running the game from the primary partition, then you will need to install all Windows(R) Vista updates, and the latest Sigmatel drivers from www.dell.com.

If you are running the game from a secondary partition, then follow the above instructions, in addition to downloading the latest BIOS from your motherboard manufacturer.

ATTEMPTING TO LOAD A PROFILE AFTER USER ACCOUNT CONTROL (UAC) IS DISABLED

If the player begins a game and creates a profile, but later disables User Account Control in Windows(TM) Vista, then their saved games will now be stored in (by default) C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare Demo\players. If you are unable to see your profile, go to "C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Virtualstore\Activision" and copy the Players folder from there, and place it in the new location.
