Install problems
Hey guys, I'm trying to install Civ 4 (vanilla) on my PC now. I keep getting this problem though. Any suggestions?

You disk may be dirty and needs cleaning or your CD drive is malfunctioning. You can try either cleaning them both or copying cab on hard drive.

Tried cleaning the disk and it still didn't work. It's relatively unscratched also. What is "copying cab"?

cab is archive which needs to be unpacked/extracted from the disk. Something is wrong since file art0.fpk is not properly extracted.

I had to get a new civ4 when that happened to me, normally it just means your disc is fucked.
You could download it illegally but it would be legal as you actually have the disc for it.

Well, my civ disks are all still somehow OK since I use the medication but they are of so poor quality that they become damaged in no time, really. Many people complain. BTS disk in my case only worked from a CD-RW drive while refusing to work from a DVD drive and required rather extensive cleaning.

I think I'm gonna have to buy a new disk. In the meantime, things are so bad that I've decided to get my civ fix from Civ2...sheesh

Yeah, that didn't last long. I forgot how amazingly terrible Civ2 is.

I know you were all concerned dearly for me, but I was able to pull through. Wal mart had one copy of vanilla left on the shelf....booyah
