when i try setting my video settings it gives a DirectX error and tells me to view the readme. Im not sure whats going on or how to make it stop. I run CSS on 1680x1050 on all settings high, and i just want to run COD4 on 1680x1050 on mid to low settings.

For me, it was an Xfire error. When ever you go to change your rez setting, just turn off Xfire. When you are done, turn it back on. I had the same issue.

Reinstall directx, any files missing or curropt will be replaced.

I know it's always a good idea to uninstall broken things before reinstalling, but... DirectX is a female dog to uninstall, so if something is corrupted, you should find a game that has the DirectX installer on it, and just overwrite your existing dx.

Very well this was the problem... Now its safe to turn Xfire back on now that the rez is what i want it? And will i have to make the change everytime i start up the game?
