    Hi, Allens:

     

    Perhaps we could start with the model of your Dell, your operating system, the model of your CD drive and the specific game you're having trouble with.

    Since this has happened since reinstalling XP, check device manager and tell me if you see any question marks or exclamation points, indicating a device driver issue.

    That's probably your dial-up modem.

     

    Are you having this problem with more than one game? I see this error is associated with "cyclic redundancy", which indicates a bad disc. Are you seeing that?
