So I was trying to move my MW2 game to my new Hard Drive, but when I clicked ''Move Folder'', it tells me ''Files Can't Be Moved To New Library Folder (Dependency Failure)''

I don't know what this error means. What does it mean? And how can I fix it? Thank you.

What operating system? And where are you clicking "Move Folder"?

Windows 7

I'm moving them from the game's properties. Take any Steam game (not a non-steam), click on properties, go to Local Files, and click on ''Move Install Folder''

Some games with inter-game dependencies (MW2 MP and SP) can't be moved (yet)

See above.

I only have "Browse Local Files", "Backup Game Files", "Delete Local Game Content", and "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". Are you participating in the Steam beta?
