Call of Duty 4 on Windows 7, is anyone being abble to play?


Recommended Posts

Hello i have the pre beta version of windows 7 running and i decided to play COD 4 on it, but i am having dificulties, punkbuster keeps kicking me out of the servers, normally it is 3 codes, it says kicked by unknown windows API funtion 131134, 131134 and 131136, i don?t know what to do, when i deactivate PB it works fine butwith that i will not have a lot of choice in servers.

I tried uninstalling the game, running antivirus and Windows defender, also i turned all the software for not working in compability mode as i saw in some forums. None of this worked. I also logged a ticket in the PB site but they don?t give support to this version of Windows 7.

BTW is anyone playing in Windows 7?

Thanks

Daniel

Um....why?

Windows 7 is a pre-beta....it probably doesn't evebeginb> to contain all the API's to do ANY of this.

This is why they don't like to pre-release things.

Do you have Windows Vista installed too? You could use that..

You're basically out of luck: PunkBuster tries to check various places in the Windows DLLs to verify that there is no 'modifications' in your Windows DLLs.

These checks are very precise and very sensitive to the version of the OS.

That will be solved when the PunkBuster software will be updated to support Windows 7 but there is very very very very little chance that PB will be updated to work with an alpha snapshot of Windows 7.

I am running windows 7, same version 64 bit. I can't even seem to get CoD4 to load... everything else works like a charm though.

Any ideas???

It says the application failed to initialize properly.

As mentioned earlier, try using a stable OS.

Stop using Windows 7! Wait until the beta comes out to start torturing it with games!

Gosh, pre-beta and already subduing it to playing CoD4...

that exactly what i said few week ago and now it happened !

just wait till they start to bush a pre-beta of windows and till us it is ME III

These pricks have diminished the purpose of a pre-beta... it's for testing purposes, not playing games. If you said, "I want to see CoD4 works on Windows 7" that would be a moderately adequate reason for doing so, but saying "I want to play CoD4 on Windows 7" is like making a baby work. Point is, it's not prepared for Windows 7, not yet, so stick to Windows Vista until then.

So many wise people...

If we wanted to use a "stable"OS we could be using our "Stable" versions of Vista, get out of here if you are not going to help troll...

Wink :)

Oh my god.

there is NO WAY IT WILL WORK UNLESS EVENBALANCE UPDATES PUNKBUSTER TO SUPPORT WIN7!

and that

is

not

going to happen

for a pre beta

operating system.

Stop acting like a little brat.

The purpose of the PDC builds of Windows 7 is for the software developers to start making drivers and applications. Not for little kids playing games.

I'm quite glad some people understand this!

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
