So, after I got a new operating system years ago, Windows10, my old disks no longer worked. So, after giving up, I purchased through Steam and haven't had too many issues and I never really use it, ever, except for COD2. But today when I went to play COD2 and it wouldn't run - it doesn't unless Steam is running. So, after I couldn't log in , did the usual "forgot password". When attempting to reset, it said "no account" with this PW. WTF?! Out of the blue, my account is gone. Is this a way to get you to buy again. And $19.99 for a game over 20 years old? So, waiting for them to "fix" whatever they broke! Sorry, had to vent. has anyone had this crap with Steam?

Thanks Kruch. I am only trying to play COD2 multiplayer. Again, It would NOT play on my original disks after updating to Win11. Also will not play unless headset was plugged in - another odd thing, but didn't care. For some reason, my account name, which the game is tied to, is OK, but when I tried to reset PW, I was told no such email. And yes, it was typed correctly, numerous times. Waiting on their tech support now. No playing today! We'll see what they say.

Right-click shortcut - Show more options - Properties - Compatibility - Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3) - Apply
