I have recently tried to load a video program Disney/Pixas/Cars. My computer exceeds all the minimum requirements. I have a Compaq Presario S5000CL running a bundled Windows XP Home Edition. Each time I try to load the program it stalls out at 43%. A second attempt stalls out at 86%, and finally a third attempt loads up 100%. When I attempt to play the program an error message is displayed saying "Cars.exe has encountered a problem and need to close. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. I tried to contact Microsoft for help but became so confused in the amount of machine generated questions and responses that had nothing to do with the problem that I gave up. The install log shows the following opening line: Install.com.installshield.product.actions.Files,err, java.io.IOException: Data error (cyclic redundancy check. STACK_TRACE:20. I have run the diagnostics on my computer, checked the registry and repaired all errors, and checked the Game disks and found them without error. I will appreciate any help offered.

If you have sufficient hard disk space, you could try copying the cd files onto the computer, and making an installation from there.
Otherwise, I would be inclined to ask your retailer for a replacement CD.
