Reformatting Hard drive/COD4

[Beav=OTF=]

This may be disclosed somewhere within the massive amount of threads here for COD4, but I am planning on reformatting my computer soon and I was wondering if there is anyway that I can back up my COD4 accomplishments and such. I would really hate to lose what I have worked for.

Any input and assistance is greatly appreciated.

D:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles
Copy folder "profiles" to an external hard drive or USB drive.

Re: Reformatting Hard drive/COD4

Reformat was successful, however I still experience "freezing up" at the lobby page and then once I select and load into a server I have to die around 2 times due to the game "freezing" I uI play in low ping servers ranging from 40-70 ping rate. This happens to me on ALL servers. Has anyone had this same experience and can anyone help me resolve this?

Specs:

Asus A8N SLI Motherboard
AMD 2.4G Athlon
8800 GTS 320Mb graphics
250Gig Hard drive
2.5 gig RAM

Yes, whenever I ran virus software. I would get a stutter.

You might also change your punkbuster setting so that it does not respond all the time. In the console type in "pb_sleep 500" then "pb_writecgf". It could be that.

Thanks Crunch, I will try that. I do not run anti virus during gaming as it does seem to cause lag and such.I also use game booster to shut down unnecessary programs from running in the background. :thumbsup:

Re: Reformatting Hard drive/COD4

Almost forgot;

I read a post from someone, somewhere a long time ago that was having these spikes and they turned off the service "Wireless Zero Configuration" in XP. In Vista/7 its called something else, but basically its the service that runs wireless for PCs. If you do not run anything wireless, you do not need the service and can turn it off.

So you might try that if the punkbuster doesnt work.

Tried the punkbuster approach and the wireless config and no change. I have to say it is a bit frustrating. Any other options is appreciated.
