You can either log into steam, look at your library, right click on MW2 and click "install" (might be slightly different wording) or you can insert the disc and simply click "install" at the disc's very first title screen thingy.

Steamcloud will download and apply your settings, controls and unlock automatically. It will also patch the game for you.

Update your graphics card driver. If this doesn't help, you'll need a better graphics card.

the problem persists but i don't understand why it is happening-before formatting everything was ok.the only thing that changed was windows(from xp to 7).
Apart from that the game runs as it should....
