Still having trouble with installing software

[Frontgrab540]

I guess I placed this story before, but someone replied
and the tips I got didn't help.
And since someone replied I feel others might not feel
indulged to add to the forum.
Here's the thing I wrote a few days ago:

Goodday,

I have a problem installing a game under Windows XP PE.

Every time I try to install the game Syberia, I get the
same error. I have tried different resolutions to the
error, to no avail.

While installing I experience a Data Error (Cyclic
Redundancy Check). Wierd is that I am able to install
this game on my father's computer, which runs Windows 98
SE.

I've tried replacing the IDE-bus, which in fact did
improve the performance of both my CD-writer and DVD-rom,
but the error remained, weather I use the writer or the
DVD-ROM for installing.

I keep al my drivers up to date, so I don't think there's
a problem there either.

My computer is not older then 2 months now (P4 2.66 GHz,
512 Mb mem, Radeon 9600) and I hope this won't be one of
many errors to come. Also I hope to get this error out of
the way ASAP.
The DVD rom is this: Asus DVD-E616P1

If more information is requiered, please ask. If anyone
knows the solution please YELL!

regards,

One advice I got was to enable DMA, but DMA was enabled
all the time, and the problem persists. I also tried
forcing PIO only, no effect.

I hope someone can help me out,

FG540

.Two things, Look on the box where the game came in and

make sure its compatible with WinXP? Sometimes you can
change the color mode to 256 for older games to work on
XP. The second thing is go to the game site and see if
they have a patch for the game.

sure you have all the programs running in the
background "off", place close attention to any AntiVirus
or Firewall programs.

Help Please. I am having problems getting into the game
zone. I want to play bridge and follow the
instructions. When it comes to playing in a room, there
is a message that reads installing games rooms now.
Thank you for your patience. So, I wait & wait, and
nothing happens. Maybe I have a problem with my
computer. I have been playing bridge in the zone for
over 4 years. Thanks in advance for any help
