crc error

[J.Willett]

I use Windows XP. When I try to install any game on my
computer it comes up with error messages for certain files
saying -
"CRC Error: The file c:\(Game file...) doesn't match the
file in the setup's .cab file. The medium from which you
are running the setup may be corrupted; contact your
software vendor."
What do I do?

Is this on a laptop? If so:

As the message says, "contact your software vendor"! Your install CD (you do
have a legal copy - right) may be bad!

I am having this same exact problem and I do not think it's a bad CD that you have. DO NOT contact your software vendor just yet

Check your RAM. That's my next step. I'll post back if this works for me.

Yep... Bad memory module

Replaced it and I am golden. I used the Memory Diagnostic tool provided by MS

Yep. I had a bad memory module causing me problems. The MS diagnosic for this worked like a charm. I would like to thank the faceless MS engineer for his/her great work on that program

Happiness is a speedy computer with 512 MB of Video Memory. :-
