Unsolvable Problem?

[deathdoG]

Dear Total Gaming Network ,

I am writing this thread in hope that it might solve my problem.

What's the problem ? You may ask , well here it is.

This error occurs when I try and install BF2 , my version and CD-Key are both legit.

I have tried ;

- Manually Installing BF2

Which does not work because both data1.cab and data2.cab are corrupt (when tried to be opened in WinRAR.)

- Manually Uninstalling BF2

Tried unistalling with regedit and with Installshield Wizard.

- Ran a CD-Checker

Getting CRC (Cyclic redundancy check) errors on both data1.cab and data2.cab

My CD has a few straches , couple of meduim size stratches ... so i've tried toothpaste , warm water , anti-static wipes , but still doesn't work.

Lastly my specs are as follows :

Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.4GHZ (B1)

2GB Corsair XMS2 RAM

Samsung WriteMaster DVD/CD Burner

Gigabyte Motherboard

320GB Hard-Drive

Antec 900 Case

430 W Antec PSU

22" Samsung Monitor

I am not willing to reformat my computer , because i am running an OEM version of Mircosoft Windows XP (PRO).

Any help would be greatlyappreciated

Cheers , deathdoG.

Re: Unsolvable Problem?

If you're getting CRC errors on the CD, then either the CD is hosed or your CD ROM drive is. Since it's the same files every time, I'd say it's the CD. You're going to have to buy another CD/DVD for BF2 since it won't install and you uninstalled it. I would say use a Mini-Image if you still had it installed.
