Hello,

I have a greneral question on how to fix loading errors that I recieve while
loading new siftware (games) in my computer. The error that I get (which is
pretty similar to most of the errors I get) is:

Feature transfer error
Feature: Install Dues Ex-Invisible War
Component: NewComponent1
File: F:/data3.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

This is the error I keep getting when trying to install certain software. I
also receive similar errors when loading in other games onto my computer.

Any and all help with helping me fix this probolem would be wonderful.

Thanks for the help! :)
 
Cyclic redundancy check = bad CD.
Contact the vendor for a CD replacement.

Here's some info I found..

"The most common times you will see the cyclic redundancy check error
message is when trying to read data from a damaged CD or DVD. Just before it
appears, your CD/DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away - your PC may
also become a little slugglish."

"For CDs and DVDs, the problem is a little different. Normally, when CD/DVD
drives get a CRC message from a disc, they try to read the disc again -
hence the grinding sound. After several failed attempts, they give up and
display the redundancy check error. The problem can be hardware (loose
cables, failing drive), software or damaged media. In most cases checking
and cleaning the disc is the easiest way to overcome the problem. If
different clean discs produce the same error, it is likely to be a hardware
issue (check the discs in another drive). Another common cause of these
errors is poorly burnt CDs and DVDs - especially those that had numerous or
severe buffer underuns. USB burners suffer from this problem when the burn
speed is too high (generally above 4X-8X)."
