could be a video driver conflict, be sure to update your video card drivers, also have all the latest updates from Microsoft

I know that the quality of MS's error messages is not stellar, but somehow I doubt that's the precise message. Could you copy down the actual text of the message and edit it into your question?\n\nIs it saying that your drive is reporting errors, or is it saying that it is unable to install because ... (some specific reason)?

This error is due to some of the files are not INSTALLED. Meaning if you try to place a graphics and you have a graphic library missing then it will ask for a disk. Simple as that. There for when you Install Microsoft Office Install it as CUSTOM and choose RUN EVERYTHING FROM MY PC.\n\nIF YOU DO THIS NO MORE ASKING FOR DISK AGAIN.

The program was corrupted during the download or a file or two was not downloaded with it. I suggest you un-install the game and then download and re-install. But when you un-install the game, afterward, before you download again, make sure you delete any files which remain on your computer they can get in the way of the new download. \n\nSometimes add/remove does not get rid of all the files of a program when it is removed.\n\nDo a search for files using the search program on your start menu. choose search all files and programs, then in the first text box put in the name of the game. Then in the third box search your C Drive, which is the default drive these are loaded to. Unless you manually changed the location of these downloads, then search the drive you changed it to.\n\nAfter the search delete all the files related to that game. Then download and reinstall the game. It should work fine now. \n\nGood luck in your games and have a lot of fun!

Depends on the dll and what you're doing. Could be that you're missing something linked or an install went haywire.

Find an alternate download site. The Microsoft download site will require verification but if you are able to download it off of a filesharing software then it might work.

Are you on as the Admin? Does that error occur when you try to install it or when you try to download it?\n\nIf you have a 16 bit system, and youre trying to install a 32 bit program, it might give out that error. If you have corrupted system32 files, then it might give that error. You might want to do a scandisk on your computer and do a file repair.\n\nIf you need a fix to get rid of the genuine check, then contact me.

That's called passing the buck.  Oh, that's a windows problem.  No one will admit we made a programming error.\n\nAt any rate...start, control panel, add/remove and look for pathways there.  If it is, repair if that option is there, and try again.  If not, choose remove.\n\nReboot, and download the program again.  If the problem continues after that, check compatibility to make sure it actually runs on XP or perhaps is designed for a different operating system.

Do you mean the game doesn't install or run? What's the problem you're having? Have you looked at the CD itself (right click on CD icon and click explore)? Any files on the disk?\n\nHow did you get the CD? Mail order? Street purchase? e-Bay?\n\nIf from the Street, you may have been ripped off. Especially if there aren't any files on the CD.

If it's a browser game you cannot.......if it's a trial download it's a waste of time trying.....if you have purchased a download just burn all files to disc

It means just that!! You must be running Windows XP SP2...\nYou must update your computer before downloading otherwise it won't run!! Also you won't be able to download unless you have an original copy!!! But there are ways around this!!\nSo go and buy a service pack 2
