CRC error while installing games

[Nebur21]

I always have an CRC error when try to install games, whether I
bought it or downloaded it. What could be the source of my problem?
could someone try to help me please? I already tried it when I swapped
my DVD-drive but it didn't helped.

Here some informtion:
2.8 GHZ processor
1 gig memory
Nvidia GeForce 6200 256 mb
if you need more just ask.

Hi (e-mail address removed),

Basically Cyclic redundancy checking is a method of
verifying that there's no errors in files that have been
downloaded, or that are being installed from media
devices such as installing a game. In otherwords, the
file is corrupt and has to be redownloaded, or the CD
media is dirty, scratched or defective. Sometimes but
not often antivirus software can cause those errors so...

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

I don't know what it is but I don't think it would help. even when I
copied the game to my harddisk I would still get CRC errors, this is
annoying me Big time. I already have Hitman Pro as a anti spyware and
all the updates.

Hi (e-mail address removed),

Since you are not able to copy files from your discs to your
hard drive, then I would have to suggest you try Step 1 in
the list I provided originally in response to your first post.
