    Back up this folder if you need to reinstall windows. I am going to reinstall windows now and I had to find out what file(s) to backup. So, I hope this will help any of you that need this answer now or in the future.

    Just copy it to another (safe) location like a thumbdrive or external hard drive, then reinstall windows and COD4 and then copy this folder back into the game directory. You should be all set.

    Later.

    I just reinstalled Windows...and almost done with COD4. I am about to try "importing" my profile back into COD4...

    We shall see. I will keep you guys posted...

    Update:

    YES!!! It worked...

    Just move the whole "Player" Folder over to the fresh install and everything is the same. Settings, Ranks, name, etc.

    It worked on mine like a charm!

    And this Topic was already pinned... :p

    OOOORRRRR,
    Back-up the whole damn folder ( C:\Program Files\Activision\Call Of Duty 4\ )
    to an external HDD or Network resource, and after re-installing winders, copy it back
    create your shorties to the network, run your game & re-enter your key.
    Donzio.

    Orrrrr when your MPdata switches to MPData.corrupt...
    Just rename it back to mpdata, and fire up the game.
