What the hell is this error? Never in my experience with any computer software have I seen a 'cycle redundancy check' or anything of the like.

Might I say that my OS is Windows XP SP2. Which means, of course, that none of the tech support can help me, because everything is different. Damn Microsoft. Anyway, I was just hoping someone out there would have a clue as to what's going on. Thanks guys.
