Try re-installing Direct X.

put the cod4 cd in and go to extras and from there you can reinstall directx.

Could also be your video card drivers. Maybe updating them or re-installing them.

i got direct x errors for bf2 when i had a geforce mx4 XD

the card wasn't good enough to support the game this might be the problem here

you can right click on your desktop->properties-> tab on the right-> it will say something like "Monitor on default graphics adapter...." thats your card

I know the problem. Re-installing your DX9 is not an option. CoD4 does not support with integrated graphics. I've tried it but with no luck. I then bought myself a 9600 GT and it works like a charm.
