Which files did you copy? The whole folder? Or just you MPData?

I would say that the directory tree is messed up. Go into cod4, make a profile, then go back to the directories and look at where it made the new profile. You should be able to add yours next to it.

Correct, you need to make a profile before you can overwrite it with another one.

Just make sure to move your original config before you make a new one as it could overwrite it...that wouldnt be good.

Also remember on Vista it is most likely in Virtual Store.
