"XIII Problems (well, only one!)"

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.

Ta.

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.

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.

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.
