Hi...

Do you have Windows Vista or Xp?

Usually when you install a game like Call of Duty 4 it installs Direct X 9 automatically. It cant do the computer any damage at all! And you wont be having to uninstall it. In fact I cant think of a computer that does not have Direct X 9 installed.

What Graphics card do you have? Because shaders depend on what type of graphics card you have.

As Xmaniac said, you need a graphics card capable of running Pixel Shader 3.0. If you don't have a graphics card and are running on Integrated graphics, you will need to purchase a graphics card. Just make sure your computer has a slot open to run it (AGP or PCI-E 16x).
