I have a possible solutions for this problem. This is the case: I have been playing Call of Duty since last December and everything was fine until about a month ago when I started to get these C++ Runtime Errors out of the blue. After just seconds or sometimes a few minutes of playing the game first got unplayably sticky, then began the sound loops and finally the game crashed glamourously with this error. I have read a number of threads concerning the issue and trust me, I have tried it all, including punching myself in the face several times. No luck. Then I read about this AGP speed solution and decided to try it. Actually I did not change the AGP speed (I kept it in 4x) but just turned the AGP Fast Write off and VOILA, that did the trick. At least after an intensive 30 minute bad-ass testing Call of Duty rolls nice n smooth. AND with ALL the details set to maximum. CoD has never looked this nice and has never rolled this smooth before. I also recommend to use manufacturers drivers instead of the ones from chipset provider: guaranteed compatability. I hope this is helpful for someone else too. My system configuration: WinXP Pro, AMD Athlon TB 1400MHz, 512 MB DDR-RAM, Elsa Gladiac 920 GeForce3 64MB, Epox 8K7A+.
