A) Make sure you're not using some download accelerator software as those tend to mess things up.
B) Make sure you've got enough free disk space on Windows partition to download the demo into temp directory and then copy it to the destination directory.
C) It's REAAALLLLY useful to defragment your hard drive every once in a while, you know

Hope this helps.

I aprriciate the help but....A)I have cable and have no need for an accelerator, B)Definitely have enough room, and C)Since I just put a new mb and processor in on Sat tis no need to defrag yet Any other guesses?

Errrrr... What does mb and CPU have to do with the HDD? Did you put a new hard disk in as well? If not, I still suggest a defragment if you didn't do it in a while. If you've swapped the hard disk as well, still run defrag just to see if the new hard disk is damaged or not. Basically, just try to defragment and see what happens from there on

i got another idea, might work better, go to your tool box, pull out a hammer, go to your PC, AND SMASH THE SH�T OUT OF IT!

works for me

I think the problem is with the user not the materials

Just kidding

Actually it has got to do with more than just defrag and user error. I am getting crc errors even when I am trying to install BF 1942. It is really pissing me off! Just got done reformatting, fdisking and reinstalling xp grrrrrrrr Theres notheing more I can think of! HELLLLLLP!

Hrmmmmmmmm... How old is your hard drive? Run scandisk on it, might be some physical problems on the actual hard drive... You know, improper shutdowns or whatever might create bad sectors on it :P


Although if I remember correctly a couple of years ago my friend used to have a similar problem because of.. slightly toasted CPU... I don't know why it exactly caused that, but when he was installing that new CPU, he turned the PC without properly attaching the fan to it... As a result it got *slightly* burned and still worked, but was giving all sorts of weird problems with reading / writing files... He solved it by tricking the store he bought it from into thinking that the CPU was actually defected when he bought it and getting a new one instead. Don't know if it's indeed the case with your machine, but you must admit there are some similarities here...
