You do not need to uninstall anything.

Use Win7, install STEAM and log in. It may ask you for a check (if you have Guard on) and that's it.
AFTER THAT you have a choice of two options:
1. let STEAM Win7 downlod the whole game
2. Start WinXP or if you can, change to the partition of WinXP from within your Win7 and:
- copy or move the directory from \Steam\steamapps\common\ (where the CoD is placed)
- copy the directory from the WinXP \MyDocuments\ (the one where the settings for CoD are) into your Win7 My Documents

I hope it helps

Did do an upgrade of fresh install?? Ive heard a lot of people have trouble with upgrading and end up doing a reformat and full install of win7

I did a fresh install.

Dunno if you really can do an XP-Win7 upgrade... Sounds weird to me.

Anyway,
S!

you cant , but win7 will save all your old files and settings for you in a handly "old system folder"
