Please help.

I have a problem. I have a copy of Civilization Call to Power, which I bought a few years ago. I recently got a new computer and wanted to reinstall the game onto my new computer. Well, every time I try the game gets to exactly 45.3% and freezes, saying it encountered an "unrecoverable error." Does anyone have any idea what this is or how it can be fixed?

I would try several things:

#1-Clean off the CD very thouroughly

#2-Clean the CD-ROM so it reads clear

This is just a suggestion as I have seen sometimes an older game have a little something on the surface prevent installation

Hope it is something this simple

That worked perfectly, thank you. I'd tried to clean it already but apparently I didn't do a good enough job as there were huge chunks of dirt on the CD's surface. I cleaned it off with a damp cloth and now it works perfectly.

Thanks again.
