I play online Call of Duty World at War, on my favorite cracked servers, and I found out that with vista, to fix the "retrieving accounts..." crash I had to do many things, like:
Creating foldes, files and deleteng others.
So I automated the whole thing to a batch file that I post bellow.
This Batch file messes up only with the CoDWaW profiles folders, under your account so it's harmless.
HOW TO :
Save the below code on your desktop as CoDWaWfix.bat.
Change the name conan to your prefered CoDWaW user name, at the line:
set COD5UserName=conan
run the bat file to play online.
It runs with administrator or limited account on Vista.
To play online you must go to: START NEW SERVER or FIND GAME-Source:Favorites- add your favorite servers and play online.

WARNING
Do not click on SELECT ONLINE PROFILE cause it crashes.
If it does not play with WinXP you must change the path to profiles folder.
The bat file every time it runs, deletes the config_mp.cfg (multiplayer config) so you lose some in game menu changes you saved the last time you played, but its a minor thing to change them again or add them to the start command like my example:
start CoDWaWmp.exe +seta r_displayRefresh "85 Hz"
I had to delete the config_mp.cfg (multiplayer config), because if I leave it there I get a "retreiving accounts..." crash shit.
It keeps the mpdata like RANK AND CHALLENGES, FAVORITES etc.

Code:

@echo off
:: MHTSARAS - CALL OF DUTY WaW RETRIEVE ACCOUNTS FIX
::PUT THE CoDWaWmp.bat ON YOUR DESKTOP
::REPLACE THE NAME conan WITH THE NAME YOU PREFER TO PLAY COD5
::REMEMBER YOU CHANGE IT ONLY ONCE BEFORE THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN THE BATCH
::AND THEN YOU JUST RUN THE BATCH AND PLAY ON YOUR FAVORITE CRACKED SERVERS
set COD5UserName=conan

mkdir %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\%COD5UserName%
echo %COD5UserName% > %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\active.txt
c:
cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
dir/s/b/ad | find/v "%COD5UserName%" > filelist.txt
for /f "delims=" %%F in (filelist.txt) do rd /S /Q "%%F"
del %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\%COD5UserName%\config_mp.cfg
del %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\filelist.txt
c:
cd "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War"
start CoDWaWmp.exe

Peace!
