Ohhh My Help! : Problems installing from CD
I have Xara 3D6 and Extreme 2.0, Windows Vista 32 and a headache! Neither one will install due to a CRC Error stating that the files dont match the ones in the cab file. Furthermore, it says my "Media is corrupt". This was right before I installed on my other computer with no problems. Any help you nice people could offer would be appreciated. I'm going for Exedrin.

Cheers Egg..
If you're curious, there are free utilities to check the media for this embedded information.
It can help avoid buying rubbish blanks ( a second time ) by identifying the REAL manufacturer.
CDR Media Code Identifier
DVD identifier
The manufacturer database hasn't been updated in a while, but may still be usefull.
Re: Ohhh My Help! : Problems installing from CD
Steve - a problem I often have is blank discs not being there according to WMP11. I've tried different burning software and bought, a while back, an external CD drive. It works for a time then just doesn't (playing CDs is no problem btw). Recently I re-downloaded/re-installed WMP11 and blank discs are recognised again. I've had to do that a number of times - I don't burn a lot, I just want it to be there at short notice.
Is there a way to make sure blank media is recognised without having to do this re-install? For instance, is there a registry setting that might be getting changed by programs I run - like PC Optimizer - that I could reset manualy?
Has it anything to do with the "Do you want WMPconfig to run automatically" message I get everytime I use WMP ?
Hope you don't mind this digression.
