iw3mp.exe has stoopped working on windows 8

If you are playing Call of Duty 4 on Windows 8, and you encountered following error : iw3mp.exe has stopped working , this is how you can fix it. First, go to Control Panel, Sound, and then click on recording tab. When in recording tab, right click and mark "show disabled devices". There you should see "stereo mix" , just enable it and go play Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare.

    if this does not work, try right click on your cod4 mp exe and enable compatibility mode with windows 7, also, run it as administrator.
    that should be fine :D

    Don't know why.
    It should work.
    It is working on my PC.
    Did you updated PB manually ?
    I updated it manually and added COD4 to the games list.

      i described all that i did, and it fixed the problem for me.
      Random crashes after one hour-that sounds like overheating problem. Do you monitor your temperatures ?

      No. I think my problem is because of d3d9.dll

      which Os do you have installed ?
      If it does not show up, right click on empty space and
      mark "show disabled devices" thet it should appear.

    Doesn't work for me either. Enabled stereo mix, reinstalled PB several times, allowed PB and COD in my firewall options, but it still keeps crashing on me. Sometimes it wont happen for 30+ minutes, other times it happens within 5 mins. It's annoying the hell out of me.

      when you reinstall PB, did you updated it manually and added COD4 in the games list ?

      Yep, at this point I'm just sticking to servers that don't have punkbuster enabled. It's the only fix I've found so far.

      don't know why mate, i don't have any issues with the game, works perfect now.maybe it's some other software running in background causing problems with PB on your computer ?

      I could use some more information about system specification,
      intervals of crashes, do you have problems playing other games ?

      I just got a new pc with windows 8 on it, instantly installed cod4 and I crash too with this solution.

      its not pb problem then, something other is crashing your game, it can be a lot of things.
      i assure you that this solution fixed PB problem on my computer.
      maybe you have some other apps in background that causing crashes.

    hi guys i am facing the same issue. I have also tried this but no luck. What i want to ask you is "Have you run clean install of win-8?". Because i have read it somewhere that it only works on clean windows 8 install. Any suggestions please do let me know.

      PB is updating every 5 seconds or so, and if you were able to play the game for 1 hour,your problem could be overheating.try to monitor your temperatures.
      i had that issue in the past.
      also you need to update your PB manually and add cod4 to the games list in PB

    The fix in this post works 100%, but not all systems are the same. Another trick is to plug in your headphones in the headphone jack. After that you can unplug them when the game starts.
