Sims 3 download error, cyclic redundancy error!

I am trying to download the sims 3 late at night, he will get about 98% finished & then an error pops up. Every time! It is said of cyclic redundancy... I did everything site Web EA told me to do and nothing works. Any help?

Hello

1. How do you try to download the game?

2. you download from the Web site or that you try to install via a CD/DVD?

If you use a CD or DVD to install the game, this error occurs when your computer fails to read some of the content on the CD/DVD it needs to install the game.

Main reasons for this error on CD/DVD, it's that your drive needs a quick cleaning. It could also be that the CD/DVD is scratched then upwards that the drive cannot read the disc.

I also suggest you to perform a disk defragmentation and check.

If the problem persists, provide us with more information so that we are able to help you the best.

    Hello

    I have an external backup drive.  I wasn't able to make the backup now that it returns errors.

    This simply means that your CD/DVD media for the installation of your game is corrupted or cannot be read, extract for all the cracks, scratches on your support.

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?

    Follow these methods and see if the problem still occurs.

    Method 1

    I suggest that you check the status of the drive using the disk management and reassign the drive letter, check if it helps.

    Change, add, or remove a drive letter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you back up data on an another external drive with other computers and later format the drive on the Windows 7 laptop and check if that helps.

  • error code 0 x 80070017 data error cyclic redundancy when you save

    I get error code 0 x 80070017 data error cyclic redundancy when you save. Publication solutions (error checking - automatically fix files) have not worked. Help!

    Hello

    1. When you save the backup?

    2A it worked fine earlier?

    This error occurs if the hard disk has errors on this subject.

    I suggest that you run a check disk on drive c and then try the backup.

    You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    b. click the hard disk you want to check, and then click Properties.

    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    d. click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  • Control Windows error cyclic redundancy

    I have two identical laptops. Both started having the same problem today. Model is Notebook CQ61-410US of Compaq.  Running Windows 7 Home Premium. 64-bit operating system.

    I started having a cyclic redundancy check error (error error_crc by MS Windows).  The error occurs when I try to sync or either of my two laptops with the ACT of Sage software loaded on the remote server. I have been successfully sync these laptops for two years in the same way.  Just today started to have this problem. And I have two other computers that are syncing without problem. I did a restore to yesterday morning before a critical update is installed Windows. That did not help. Because it is a problem with only these two laptops, my suspision is that it has something to do with laptops and some kind of an update which affected them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Solution found!  A ran a chkdsk on the server. It found errors and fixed them. All computers are now the synchronization.
