The reinstall-downward-spiral

[verity_blues]

I recently attempted to install the lastest version of my favorite mod for M2TW 1.2, when it happened; disaster.

It has been a battle of wills between me and my PC with so many fix's, patches, registry-research, Microsoft downloads, .net frameworks, deletes, restores, and much much more. And it all started with an unsuccessful mod install.

So, now, I can't even reinstall M2TW vanilla onto my desktop without errors. I think I may have figured out my first problem though, to many scratches on my disk maybe?

Here's my latest error, occuring at the M2TW install, disk 1:

CRC error: The file C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\Packs\Data_2.pack 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.

Abort Retry Ignore



ANYONE CAN HELP ME, PLEASE?

CRC errors indicate either a problem with your disc, or with your drive.

Try giving the DVD a quick clean, and see if it works after that.

The Safedisk update seemed to help me.

Thanks, I will try all of this when I get home.
