Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Indiasong:
Did that too.
Edit: it's the framework.
I'm cursed!

The cycle redundancy problem is one of the hot technical topics at EAxis: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/947.page
Thanks for the link. But when I try to access it it says I don't have enough priviledges to visualize it. I was not suppose to be out of bed today :rolleyes

Typical of EAxis - here's the first page of 12.

If you are experiencing a cyclic redundancy check error, we'd like you to do the following so we can keep the number of threads on that issue to a minimum:
*Run the Windows Defragmenter software on your system. Fragmented hard disk space can cause this error.
*CRC errors may also be caused by a hard disk or DVD drive failing or being unable to write consistent data.
If you have run the Defragmenter software and are continuing to experience this error, please contact your system's manufacturer for further diagnostics.
Update:
It appears that in some cases, users that are using the EA download Manager version of The Sims 3 may experience this error if their download is paused. To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
*Log in to the EADM.
*Click on the red x in the upper right part of the Sims 3 download to clear the EADM cache.
*Re-download The Sims 3; do not pause the download.
Update 2 (6/4/09):
There is a new FAQ addressing this issue:
https://easims.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/easims.cfg/php...user/std_adp.php?p_faqid=22234
We understand that this has become a very frustrating issue for many simmers that are eager to play the game, and as more information or solutions become available, we will post them here in the Support forum. Thank you all for your patience!

I'll be installing TS3 Monday. Am debating whether to first buy a bottle of aspirin or a bottle of booze.
Aracelis:
Thank you, ZiggyDoodle! I don't think my DVD drive is causing this, because I've already tested it with another game and it installed just fine. Somebody at N99 told me this could be caused by an un compatibility between my DVD drive and dye on disc (dows this make any sense to you, because it's chinese to me, I'm far from being a computer wizard (lol). And that I should update the firmware of the drive. So now, my question is: where do I find the model of the DVD drive, since I have this PC for 4 years now, and can't remember?
ZiggyDoodle:
Aracelis, I'm presuming you're running Windoze. Go into your control panel, click "system," then "hardware," then "device manager." You should see a listing for DVD/CD-ROM drives - open that icon and you'll see the brand(s) you have installed.
I don't know why you couldn't access the TS3 site - not sure if you have to register to read the babbling, but you might try that as there were 11 other pages on the issue you're having.
