steam problems

[techgamer]

Has anyone had any problems installing steam games with multiple discs. I am installing orange box on a new computer and it is hanging up everytime it asks to insert disc 2. The steam program freezes and says 'not responding'. any ideas?

They tell you to download the latest version of steam before you install.
Good Luck.

I have the newest version of the Steam client. Restarting computer didnt help. Uninstalling and reinstalling didnt help. I installed as much as I could from the first cd now I'm downloading the rest of orange box through steam online. Its taking forever tho sigh

That stinks.Maybe you got a bad disk?Can you take it back to where you bought it and ask them for another copy because you got a bad disk?

That may be faster than waiting for a download.

I dont think its a bad disk because I've installed it on another computer just fine.

You could just activate it on your steam account and then download it?

This is why Multiple Disk installs suck. Probably your Drive having a problem reading the disk for some reason.

Disabling/Shutting Down apps like Virtual Daemon or other Virtual Disk capable apps is worth a try as well.
