I keep getting http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/staarbux/oblivionproblem.png when I try and install Oblivion on my laptop.

Any ideas what it may be due to? I have a sneaking suspicion it's that the CD has tiny surface scratches but don't know for sure...

CRC errors are from the disk not getting read correctly so the error check fails --- usually due to dirty\scratched disk. Try cleaning the disk first and if that stil will not work you can take it to a video rental\game reseller and for a small fee they will resurface the disk if the scratches are not too big.

Okay great hon thank you. I'll pop into Game and get them to clean it.
