Installation of the Game

The best test for a crc error would be to copy all the contents of disk 2 onto your laptop, if that gives you a crc error then return game to sender and get a working copy.

Otherwise, try using a CD/DVD lens cleaner on your drive. If it's really old then you should save yourself a lot of future hassles and get a new one.

Thanks for the responses all,

I really think it could be something to do with the DVD drives in my game PC and yes the Drive in my laptop is a R/W. I have copied the contents of both discs to my laptop and it installed without any errors so it leads me to think that there may be something screwy with my other setup.

Well I sort have got it working in a strange way. I installed the game on the PC it would not work on and just pressed ignore to get past the CRC errors. I then copied the working installed game on the laptop over the top of the none working game.

Voila, the game loads and shows Version 1.02 so I may get chance to see if the campaign maps works okay. So far I have tried the quick and custom battles and it seems to work.

Okay slight update, the game runs okay but then started crashing randomly. It then occured to me that I had a similar problem with another game once over and just assigned MTW2 to work on one core only on my dual core proc. and I have played with it for 2 hours straight without crashes or pauses.

Well at least thislong winded process seems to have worked and I can enjoy actually playing the game.
