The CoD4 Mod Tools do not work in Windows Vista, although some users have reported some success running them in Windows XP Compatibility Mode.

1. go to "raw"-folder
2. create a new folder in it and name it also "raw"
3. copy the "shader_bin"-Folder into the new "raw"-folder you created
4.go to "map_source/prefabs/"-folder
5.create a new folder and name it "raw" again
6.copy the "shader_bin"-folder to this one, too

When you still get this error check your paths : raw/raw/shader_bin & map_source/prefabs/raw/shader_bin

This tip didn't works for my problem. It receive the error :
"error during initialisation
can't find shader : shader_bin/ps_2_0_3fe1c8af"

even with the cloned dirs. I realised the specified file doesn't exist nowhere in my system.

So I found another solution that worked!

Edited my profile config_mp.cfg file manually, replacing shader 2_0 calls with shader 3_0 call:
open \COD4ROOT\players\profiles\{profilename}\config_mp.cfg

1. Find the lines:
seta r_rendererInUse "Shader model 2.0"
seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 2.0"

2. Replace with (or add them):
seta r_rendererInUse "Shader model 3.0"
seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 3.0"

Now, the game find and use correct shader files (ps_3_0_xxx) and the compile runs fine!

Translating anything with google translate (or typing even worse sentences by yourself) isn't a valid means of communication. It makes helping you an awful lot more difficult. Proper communication is what sets humans apart from animals, so we should probably cherish our communication skills and use them when applicable (like, for example, when helping one another ).

In any case, it's not your computer that's bad. The modtools are not designed to run on windows vista, so if one chooses to run them anyway problems like these are to be expected.
