#1: cc5 on xp Author: wickedakuba, Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2012 8:26 pm hi all just trying to get cc5 to work on a friends laptop and hes on xp. the game will not install and stops at 84% saying component transfer error-
component : required data files
file group: graphics files
files: d:data2.cab
error : data error (cyclic redunduncy check)
any help would be appreciated .
also tried running setup in 98 and 95 but no good. cant do administrator because its asking for a password and we dont know it because his laptop was bought 2nd hand

are you using a download? Or it the game from a disc?
i think cyclic redunduncy check means that some data is missing from the overall "mother" file
did you try installing on different pc?
#3: Re: cc5 on xp Author: wickedakuba, Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 6:48 pm i have the game on my laptop and was using the same game for his. its the original game i bought i few years ago.

#13: Re: cc5 on xp Author: wickedakuba, Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:24 pm just wondering now how is it possible to play without going onto the internet wih 2 laptops? can i just plug in the cable to both laptops to do a lan game?
#14: Re: cc5 on xp Author: verba, Location: New Providence (Bahama's)Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:27 pm yeah sure just make a LAN, plug in the cable and see if CC finds the other pc
otherwise set up a LAN through your control panel on either laptops
#15: Re: cc5 on xp Author: wickedakuba, Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:52 pm how do i do a lan game through the actual game? i can only see internet connections and serial?
