Have you got DirectX 9.0 installed currently?

Try re-downloading and re-installing:

I don't have internet on the computer and I reinstalled it to no effect.

Did you check all your system specs to see if it can run it?

The computer that has the Directx error does not have internet. I need to know how to fix the error so the game can run.

Sorry... I forgot.

Ahh... I'll do some looking into it and get back to you.

Did you see this error from the first time you opened it, or did it just appear recently?

I just built this computer a week ago so it started as soon as I got COD4 installed and tried playing it.

I've looked at some topics on other forums and what most (3 people) had to do was re-install Windows.

On one other forum, a re-install of the game worked.

So, I'd go with option 2, to start with.

Have you run  - -->Start/Run/dxdiag ?

Just to check DirectX is itself all good to go - otherwise it seems the game itself is causing a conflict perhaps.
