    OK, there are 2 work around for the "DX error".

    One, if your running xfire, shut down xfire before running COD4, then change the resolution and graphics to desired setting and save. Now you can let xfire run again.

    Two, if your not or also running xfire, go to your profile in the program directory and find the resolution. Change it to your monitors resolution and save. Now you should be able to go into your game and change any other settings. This does not require you to kill xfire for changing the settings.

    Other fixes include manually updating DX and new graphics drivers, but those 2 above have worked the best.
