    Hrm, not sure. There was another site with a different suggestion, but it was for a different error I think (not the cyclicredundancycheck one). Try the suggestion on the site I linked and see if you can straight-up copy the DVD. If you can, try installing from the copy on your harddrive that you've just created, if there's another error link it back here.

    OK, here's a new link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...e-b8aa85e295dc

    You can try the official MS answer they post there. If that doesn't work, further down someone has a suggestion to run a repair reinstall of Windows (which, now that I look a bit more closely, seems like it may be the way to go, since the error is the program trying to run something designed for Vista and not Win 7). Essentially, boot the computer using your Win 7 disc, but there should be an option to run a repair installation instead of a full one.

    Download the driver from the company's website and copy to that machine and try again.
    PS: Always use the most recent driver from the manufacturers website, they are generally newer and improved.

    Hope this helps.

    Let's do some trouble-shootiing before you drive 200 miles again.

    If you have 4 identical computers (desktops?), try

    1) Cables unsecured ? ----Ensure all the internal cables are secure (pull them out and reconnect them), then try to install the driver on the problematic computer
    .....a) cable end to the drive
    .....b) cable end to the Motherboard

    2) Cables bad ? Try replacing cables by borrowing from a "good" computer then try to install the driver on the problematic computer

    3) Perhaps the "adapter" is bad? ...try "borrowing" one of the "good" adapters and try to install the driver on the problematic computer

    4) Perhaps the drive is bad? ...try "borrowing" a drive from another computer and try to install the driver on the problematic computer


    These are a few easy things to try before driving 200 miles ...

    If you find the problem, then you can call Microcenter and maybe they will ship you a new part (if you can identify what is bad).

    If you can get on the intarwebz wired, maybe one of the desktop wizards can offer to TeamViewer or LogMeIn remote and help you out? Sure would seem to be an easier fix than all the back and forth.

    5) USB port bad/flaky ? There should be several USB ports on the computer and a few different USB controllers on board (each controller shows up in the Device manager, and shows the ports attached). Try a different port for the adapter that is on a different controller

    6) BIOS -- view the Bios settings and see if you can find any settings "of interest"

    7) Swap HDs - If the computers are identical, temporarily "borrow" the boot HD from a "good" computer and install it in the "bad" computer. There are a few things that might not work, due to settings like MAC address, but they can be easily changed .

    8) Also try the "bad computer " HD in a "good computer, and see if you can install the driver

    9) Memory not seated well ? - Try reseating the RAM

    10) Memory bad/flakey?
    ...a) Does the (right amount) of memory show up (in the BIOS or Dev Manager)
    ......i) same amount as the others?
    ......ii) Equal the amount the modules add up to ?
    ...b) Right "kind" of memory or memory types mixed (non-ECC vs ECC , parity vs. non parity, )
    ...c) Unbalanced modules ? Often they need to be put in as "like-size-pairs" and can't be randomly mixed when inserted
    ...d) Run a memory test to see if you have any bad RAM areas.
    ...e) Swap in the memory from a "good" computer, making sure each module goes in the "Exact Same Place" ...you can tag and mark them with a piece of tape

    In my opinion, these are not "tearing the computer apart" , as they are items that a user might want to self-replace/upgrade, like memory, themselves.

    Having a known good/working and Identical computer is a HUGE benefit. You have a "golden reference model" of parts that are KNOWN WORKING/KNOWN GOOD. Swapping out good parts for suspect parts is a lot easier than having just a "bad" computer that you have to try and guess what is wrong, and find some tests to run.

    IMHO, If you pulled the heatsink off the processor and swapped processors, opened up the power supply, opened up the HD or CD ROM drive, you'd be "tearing the computer apart" and voiding the warranty...but the items I mentioned should not be an issue, because you can easily put it back the way you found it , after testing.

    ...but, we all have different levels of comfort. Please do what you feel is best.

    Please also understand that I, like others, am "just trying to help".

    Sorry to hear you had so much trouble.

    A simple way to "stream video" is to "share" your drive; mount the shared drive on the other computers; and have them access the video files (or copy them locally to theirs) as if they were "local" to their computers, just use your shared drive as a "remote" drive.

    Also, you once again have several identical computers. When you have problems, use my previous advice to your advantage and swap in known good parts to troubleshoot.

    I'd also get something like Norton Ghost (lots of others), and get an external USB drive, and make a backup "image" of a computer (after loading all your software).
    So...when (not if) one of the computers crashes, and since they are all the same, you can just restore the image to the computer (or the new HD for the crashed computer) and have all the drivers/software etc. load with the O/S in "one swoop". This won't restore any data/pics etc., but the computer will be back to its old self pretty easily.

    Otherwise, you will have to go through the whole "load o/s, configure o/s, load latest device drivers, load ms office, load firefox, etc." process each time.
    With the "image " method, you just load the whole thing at once, and change the computer name.


    Remember, you have "friends" here that can help you....don't try to do it all by yourself
