Default mw2 multiplaer: disc read error
When I start mw2: multi-player, it shows that steam is connecting to it, then I get a disc read error a couple seconds after. I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I've tried reinstalling, integration of files on steam and some random stuff
I would hope would work. Help would greatly be appreciated.

I start multiplayer, then it goes back to my desktop, after a while a message pops up saying Disc read error. The day that happened, my computer fell and hit the ground so that could be the cause but I was still able to finish the game.

Well, after some research (Google ftw?) I found it was a known error. No one had discovered how to rectify the problem but a common trend was that no one ever bothered to check their firewall/anti-virus.

Considering how the error only occurs in Multi-player it wouldn't be surprising if that was the cause.

I turned off the firewall and malware and it still happened, I'm pretty sure that isn't it because ithad the same setting when it was working.

I'm pretty sure that your computer hitting the floor is a problem. Another case of lack of common sense.

The only people who experience this problem are using Vista/7 x64. The general fix is installing XP, but this shouldn't be necessary considering that most people do not have this issue (myself included).

- Check that drivers are up to date.
- Run Steam and/or Modern Warfare 2 with/without compatibility mode for XP.
- Update Windows. Its Vista, 'nuff said.
- Uninstall your Anti-Virus (temp.). This may seem like an extreme step but I have seen cases where disabling it wasn't enough due to conflicts with Vista's security.
