I tried to join the server from x-fire the other night and it wouldnt load.
kept getting " iw3mp.exe has stopped responding "
I looked on the net and found a few folks with the same problem and they thought it was a sound card issue.
So I thought the only thing I have done since I last played was unplug my usb headphones ( even though speakers are the default option )
and this was what was causing the problem.
anyway pluged the little buggers back in and way hay the game is working again.
so moral of the story is, if its working, don't mess about with it.
if its broke it probably means you broke it,
and finnaly with all the PC problems I have tried to fix in the past it just proves its better to be born lucky than good
