Can anyone try my method on 7600.16385??
-Install clean copy od win7 without formatting
-Browse in C:/windows.old/Program Files/Activision and move "Call of Duty 4" folder in c:/ProgramFiles/
-DO NOT reinstall call of duty 4 or pb services (pbsvc.exe) -dunno about pbsetup.exe-
-Launch the game, enter your mp cd key in multiplayer options, open console and type /seta con_gameMsgWindow0FadeInTime "0"
-Try the game and feedback here!!

Did you try this yourself yet? Anybody else?

All of these methods seem to work with the 32-bit version of the 7600 RTM build but not with the 64-bit/x64 installation, which I have.

yep works fine here on RTM

it works for build 7264 32bit as well :). No wonder I haven't been getting kicked out :<

Should i first run pbsvc or pbsetup?

either way doesn't matter only need to do that setup once

Jep, It works... no more api kick, but now disallowed program/driver kick, wtf....
I'll go crazy....

Hey people,

This has worked for me, but remember to start off with a clean install in case you have made other attempts to *fix* this.

1. Install CoD4 with PB that comes with it.

2. Install all the patches to bring it up to the current version (1.7)

3. Do a PB manual update.

4. Run Cod4 to make sure all services start.

5. Set the following files to Vista compatibility mode:

• C:\Windows\SysWOW64\PnkBstrA.exe
• C:\Windows\SysWOW64\PnkBstrB.exe

6. Play the game.

This has been verified on 64b only, builds: 7100 & 7600 (3 Machines, 2x 7100 and 1 7600) I have been able to play it on build 7100 32b but the executable's are in a different location and I haven't documented them.

I have logged about 3.5 days of constant play with this working, and I've been playing on PB enabled servers.

Please let me know if this works for you :)
