| 163438 | 2003-07-28 06:40:00 | Can somebody explain the following error message when installing games, this one is from installing 1942. " CRC error the file D:\1942\archives\animations.rfa does not match the setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup may be corupted, please contact your software vendor." I am running win xp pro/ p4/Dir X9/512mb ram. Its driving me mad !!!! |

| 163439 | 2003-07-28 07:06:00 | Exactly that, CRC is a method for checking file integrity, in your case the file has been compromised, meaning the CRC signature doesn't match up. aka corrupted, the file will not install as it is corrupted, the only way around it is to get a new file, | roofus (483) | ||
| 163440 | 2003-07-28 07:26:00 | Are you using original BF1942 CDs? If so then you can contact the vendor who sold it to you and ask to replace the CD. If you're not using an original BF1942 then I suggest you purchase a retail copy instead. It is well worth the money and the NZ BF1942 community is huge with lots of local servers to play on. |

| 163441 | 2003-07-28 08:18:00 | Yes its likely part of the SafeDisk 2's copy protection. You could try turning on 'Hide CDR media' with CloneCd. Thats assuming it is a backup of the cd? Either that or copy the file from the cd, into the right directory on the hard drive, then run the patch again? |

| 163442 | 2003-07-28 09:41:00 | The installation is from the original disc, same thing happens with desert storm, but it wil install ok on my 2nd computer | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 163443 | 2003-07-28 09:44:00 | I have tried to a fresh install 3 times of windows to the same comp but this is what happens. | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 163444 | 2003-07-28 09:56:00 | You may need to clean your CD Rom drive with a head cleaner - it's possible that the reader isn't reading the CDs properly due to dirty heads. A good cleaner is the Philips brand one you can get from Dick Smith (although a little expensive at $29). HTH Mike. |

| 163445 | 2003-07-28 10:36:00 | Funny thing is its a new new cd rom, could that be the problem and how do you prove it to the shop ? DSE in this case. I might try to swap cd roms and see what happens. | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 163446 | 2003-07-29 06:17:00 | A thought has occurred ... based on another thread. Have a look and see if the CD drive has DMA enabled. If so, try turning that off. It won't cost anything to try this. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
