xfire game detect issues

[soulJAHmon]

I've been trying for 4 days to get xfire to detect cod4 on my computer and it will not. It won't detect automatically, and it won't let me browse for a manual detect either. It usesd to work fine. I've tried re-itstalling xfire (once) and I've re-installed the cod4 (3 times) and I still got nothing. Please help!

I had the same problem with ET long time ago.

 

What I did. Manual detect, found et.exe(iw3mp.exe for cod if im right)

Also when I start xfire there is a pop-up asking permission for xfire update, unless give permission it won't detect the game during that logon.

 

Thats all I know, try this hopefully it will help.

have u tryed to add it from not instaled list?

[soulJAHmon]

yes I've tried both of those options and I'm still stuck. The detect window takes for ever to load in the first place and if I choose the cod4 game under not detected and try to browse, the browse window wont function so I can tell it the path. I've tried everything I can think of and still nothing works.

Its a dumb question but... you changed the auto detect drop down to manual detect? That should allow you to use the browse button.

xfire->options->games(detecting, finished)->Not Installed games, browse for CoD4->press it->Change "automatically detect" to "Manual detect"-> hit browse and go for it.
