Took me awhile to figure it out but finally got it working when i compared profile folders to cod4
Lets say you have a profile Torrentz
So in your players/profiles directory you need to have your Torrentz folder. If you have a real profile with data use that but for me just starting cod5 i just had a blank folder
players/profiles/Torrentz
But just having the folder isnt enough you need to tell cod5 what the active profile is with active.txt
so if its not there create it @ players/profiles/active.txt
In it you need just a single line with the name of your profile IE:
Torrentz
This worked for me
This may have been obvious for some but noone ever mentioned it so there it is.

It depends
In vista and possibly other os's its located at
C:,Users,<Account Name>,AppData,Local,Activision,CoDWaW
But some installations need it in the Root game directory usually
c:,Program Files,Activision,Call of Duty World at War
(your path may vary slightly )
Chances are if you have the first path then its that one as I believe the second path is when there is no users directory like in win xp 32 bit
