	This means that your video card is not supported. Onboard video chips, Nvidia cards older than the 66xx series and ATi older than the 98xx pro series are not supported by COD4.

Onboard video chips, Nvidia cards older than the 66xx series and ATi older than the 98xx pro series are not supported by COD4. This could also be a driver problem so make sure your video drivers are upto date.

			==Vista Issues==

			OK, Vista Users<<< after you copy the modding files to your game dir

			*In the folder C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin <<>>
			*Right clik

			CoD4Radiant.exe
			CoD4CompileTools.exe
			asset_manager.exe
			CoD4EffectsEd.exe

			and use <font color="red">compatibility mode for XP </font>

			*The CoD4 Mod Tools require a DirectX 9 Shader Model 3.0 compliant card and the .NET Framework Version 2.0 or higher!

			*Put a copy of the '''RAW/SHADER_BIN''' folder in:

			<your_path_for_game>/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/raw/raw/shader_bin
			<your_path_for_game>/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/raw/xmodel/raw/shader_bin
			<your_path_for_game>/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/map_source/prefabs/raw/shader_bin

			[[Image:Information.png]] There are other problems which could be fixed by pasting the /raw/shader_bin folder also into other folders (problems with the effect editor for example) so when you get such an error, try to fix it by copying the /raw/shader_bin folders to the folder of the item you wanted to use at the time you got the error.

			You need to paste a copy of the RAW/SHADER_BIN folder into the xmodel folder too when you want to use xmodels.
			You will then get an ERROR

			'''ERROR'''

			When clicking the .prj file, an error appears saying it cannot find material $default and has to shut down radiant.

			'''SOLUTION'''

			*Create a copy of the radiant.exe and place it into your ...\...\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare file, or wherever your game exe files are directly found. Then use the copied radiant.exe and wait a while. It took a long time for it to load for me but it seems radiant has loaded up.

			== Backup Multiplayer Data ==

			*To backup your multiplayer profile is easy. All you have to do is navigate to the place where your Call of Duty 4 is installed and find your user profile. EG:

			C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\User

			*Inside that folder find the files called mpdata and config_mp. mpdata contains all the xp and kills, headshots etc. config_mp contains all your keybinds and the names of your custom classes. Copy these two files and paste them somewhere else, or save them to a disc/external device.

			*You can then re-install Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. Then go into the game and make a profile. Then exit the game. Then find the same profile again on your hard drive and copy your files over the ones existing in C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\User.

			*After that enter game and it should work. It is also possible to have many accounts with the same stats and keybinds in this way.
