Problem #6:
Installation errors. A CRC or data cab error (or similar) occurs when trying to install/run the game.
Solution: This is an indication of a read error. Inspect your disc and try to remove all scratches, smudges, marks etc. It may be a fault of the drive itself, in which case you'll have to replace it with a functioning one.
Alternatively: This often occurs with burnt copies of the game - especially those created with Clone CD. If you have an illegal copy, see the introduction above. Don't mention it here; we don't want to hear about it. Go out and buy the game if you expect it to work for you.
Alternatively: End all non-essential processes, including anti-virus and Window Blinds.
Alternatively: Empty the temporary folder on your hard drive (typically C:\Windows\Temp).
Alternatively: Close any emulation-type software such as Clone CD/DVD, Nero Burning Rom or Daemon Tools.
Alternatively: If you are using Windows 98 or SE, turn off Active Desktop (if it is on).
Alternatively: If you have an alternative disc drive, try installing from that. Some drives have compatibility problems with newer copy protection schemes. You should also update the firmware drivers for your disc drive.
