Posts from Problem with installing Tribes of the East.

:confused: :confused: :confused: Help, please!!!!! The installation stops at 96% on the file C:\...\data\soundsfx.pak, and after a few minutes, an error appears:
component: PackedData
file group: PackedData
file: E:\data 3.cab
error: data error (CRC):smile48: :smile48:
Although the first time it installed without any issues...

The CRC checksum is designed to ensure data integrity during transmission, which means either your archive is corrupted, or if you're installing from a disc, your CD/DVD ROM drive is malfunctioning. Try installing it several times; if that doesn't work, you'll need a different distribution. Good luck!

I've installed it 20 times, and it always stops at 96% and throws this error! What is a distribution?

This is the installation file; you're looking for a different game disc. There's nothing else I can suggest. However, if you have it already installed on another computer, you can copy it from there.

Thank you for your response! But there’s nothing to copy from, I’ll have to order the disc again.

Hold off on ordering. Something tells me that a new disc won't help. I had a lot of trouble installing the fifth installment myself. Now, the same discs install without any problems. Write to 1C's tech support. But first, scan a copy of your registration form so they can register your game.
As a quick fix: try defragmenting the disc, install the game in selective startup mode, disabling all processes that are not related to Microsoft.
To perform a clean boot of Windows, select "Run" in the Start menu, type msconfig in the Open field, and click OK.
On the "General" tab, select Selective startup.
In the Selective startup section, uncheck the following boxes:
*Process System.ini file
*Process Win.ini file
*Load startup items

On the Services tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft services" box, and then disable all services where the manufacturer is not Microsoft Corporation.

Click OK and select Restart.

(A clean boot may cause some services to become unavailable. Restoring the previous settings may cause the game problems to recur).
Most likely, it's time to reinstall Windows.

I need to try... but will this boot harm my computer?

It won't hurt. :)
The computer will even kindly remind you that it's loading in selective launch mode, just in case you forget.

I did everything as you said, I didn't disable anything except the antivirus, but it didn't work. Should I also disable the antivirus?

Did you defragment the disk?
You must disable the antivirus.
