I am trying to get a COD4 server running on my spare computer, and I cant seem to get it to run. Every time I launch the game, the console shows up and says something about a Direct X error or something. "DirectX Error: DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the ReadMe for possible solutions."

Thats the error I get..

I've tried updating the BIOS, DirectX and possibly everything else..

Its a Gateway 702GE, Ive tried it with a Dedicated DX9 card and On-Board, different hard drives, and cant get it to work.


I don't need the computer to play the game, I only need it to host a server.


Any ideas.

meanman

firstly you can run a cod4 dedicated server off onboard graphics.
are you running any custom maps or mods?
have you tried putting the disk in and clicking on extras then reinstalling directx from there?
If you have xfire on the server pc shut it down and then try.
if you still have problems pm me and ill do my best to help.
