Default Call of duty 4, mss32.dll not a valid x64 program?


Hi,

I tried installing CoD4, but when I try to run the game, it tells me
mss32.dll isn't a valid x64bit program, (or something near that)
Is there a fix for that, or an update?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Geelined....I have EXACTLY the same problem.....I downloaded the
mss32.dll and put it in the game folder, and in the system 32 folder, as
some suggested. Now I get another error: "the procedure entry point
_AIL_set_speaker_configuration@16 ......." and so on......when I search
this in google....I get various foriegn languages and no help...if you
have fixed yours...let me know....?! Thanks,

Make sure that your audio card drivers are up to date, there have been
some strange issues with the game due to out of date audio drivers. Once
you have the latest drivers for the audio and your video card you may
want to re-install the game. Once it is installed update to the 1.4 game
patch. Make sure your anti virus and firewall are off when playing
online, they can interfere with multiplayer. Also go to evenbalance.com
and update your punkbuster----punkbustersetup.exe

U shouldn't be disabling AV and Firewall, but putting all the Game exe's
as well as the Punkbuster exe's into the Firewall as allowed. No
problems turning them off to find out if that is a cause of a problem,
but then go and make the program work with your security.

There is a small Free program called "Vista Firewall Control", works
excellently with Vista and blocks everything until you allow it. Also
the free Avast AV program, has caught many nasties for me and also works
a treat under Vista. I have both these running and playing COD4 on line
without a hitch.

Did you EVER think that the error generated is correct?
Think about it: Under Vista x64, a "32bit dll" is OVIOUSLY "not a
64bit Program." You must use a 64bit dll or executable if you want to
"fix it".

Well, I guess so, but it doesnt explain why it wont start...the game
should be playable in both 32 and 64.....I install it on a 64
system....why would it call for 32 dll after the install? I wish I
knew....Where can I get a 64 bit DLL?? Same place as one can get a 32
DLL I imagine?
Thanks for the responses all.

Hi!
All 32 games are installed in x86 in Vista64,and running as x32,
problems with Cod 4, delete all in reg if you have tried a cracked one,
and download the latest patch, and you have to uppdate Punk buster
manualt.
Just love Cod4!

Best regards
