CoD4 : Can't locate mss32.dll

[MasterOfABCs]

On my Windows XP box, CoD4 has, for some unknow reason, ceased functioning.

An error message is presented.

It reads as follows - This application has failed to start because mss32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

Now, I can't re-install becuase CD is MIA.

It gets better!

The file "mss32.dll can't" be found according to my silly computer.

However, My Computer > Program Files > Activision > Call of Duty 4 > mss32.dll.

I can see the silly file plain as day (which is very plain.)

Help?

Just a thought, maybe that file also needs to be in another folder where it is missing?

Yes, it did need to be moved.

As did another silly file.

However, with both of these files moved I have been presented wit ha new lovely issue.

"No IWD files found in /main"

What the hell do I need to do to play me some games?
