I cannot play this anymore. The splash screen asks me to insert a XIII Disc - I tried all 4 - no luck. I even put one disc in each drive (I only have two drives) but still got nowhere.
So I decided to uninstall and start afresh. Now I can't Install the damn thing!
I get to disc 2 and the installation fails due to 'cyclic redundancy check' or something like that. I have come across that in the past and I can't remember if I managed to find a solution.
Is the disc knackered? Is it one or (gulp) both of my drives? Or is it that stupid protection device I've heard of, where it won't work if you have more than one optical drive in your machine?
Please help! If it's the disc(s), I'll have to go return it quick.

I had that problem with Aliens Vs Predator 2.
I had one disc in D: and one in E:.
When it told me to change, I told it the disc 2 was in E. Didn't work. Repeat... Etc.
Finally, simply took out Disc 1 and replaced with Disc 2 whe prompted, in drive D:.
Installed perfectly.

I've got rid of it now, but thanks anyway!
Could also have been down to the fact that I've got 851 (yes, 851!) virii on my computer!
No worry though, it's getting wiped soon.

NOOOOOOOO. I had this EXACT problem too. When installing around disc 2, towards the end it comes up with that error.
I know my machine well exceeded the spec so I tried installing it like 4 times.
The 5th time I did it and just did ABSOLUTELY nothing apart fomr change the discs. Thats how you get past it, you cannot go on any programs or the internet, just put in the CD and LEAVE.
Thats how you do it. Also close any major programs i.e Word, internet and anti virus things.

The Athlon 64 specs were impressive, rivalling and beating 3.2 Ghz P4s with a 2.2Ghz chip. But uitl more 64 bit apps are released, then I'm happy. Which is just as well, as I'll be broke for the next five or so years (possibly forever actually, damn rise in fees).
Think I looked at that model. Decided I'd stick with P4 for now though. Might go for an Athlon 64 (or whatever is out) next time I upgrade.
SN41G2, it was an Athlon. I've sold it now though, after damaging the mobo.
So what model you got then?

Na, probably not, I did have it right next to me when playing, so if it's under the desk or on the ohter side of the room it should be dead quiet (ish).
Loud?
They're supposed to be really quiet aren't they?
Oh well, surely it can't as loud as the big mess sitting at home (it vibrates FFS!).
