Problems installing The elder scrolls 3: Morrowind

Ok, I try to install, and 97% of the way through I get this error:
Component: Data files
File group: Data files
File: E:\data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

This happens at 97% on C:\...\splash\splash-kwamawarrior.tga

I'm using a compaq5000/256RAM/1.2MHz proc/22.7GIGs left on HD/a chair to sit in/a nagging wife (heehee)

Is there any other info you need?

Thanks in advance.

 

crc error probably means the disc is scratched have you looked for any damage try cleaning it with a soft lint free cloth

 

or if you downloaded it, its a dud copy

Like he said, probably somthing gone awry on the CD.

 

thought did cross my mind but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt

 

Yeah prolly scratched or a dying CDrom drive. Ya might try copying all the files to the harddrive in a folder and install from them and delete them after ya install. Donno if morrowind will run as fast as you like i have a 1.65 Athlon and a 5600xt 128mb video card and i get ~20fps....and the water whill prolly lag ya down a good bit .............

 

hmmm

Ok, it *was* the CD, but after I get it installed, it won't run because I don't have true color-32 bit. So, I go out and buy a Radeon 9200 (agp), and have no idea how to disable the on-board graphics thingy (yeah, I said "thingy"), I also couldn't find a listing for an AGP controller in system devices. I would also like to add: ARRRRG!

 

afhooy
what is the make/model of your motherboard this can help us to help you use your new card

but generally there should be an option in the bios to disable onboard vga

 

Bios?

Not sure what the BIOS is, or the make and model of mom. However, I *did* figure it out, and now I can play my game! WoooHooo! I get a promotion for this, right?

 

ahfooy have you tried updating your drivers???????????

 

same thing is happening to me i cleaned it and it still says it anyone able to help?
