-- Posted by climber783 at 7:34 pm on April 14, 2008 Hey, I'm doing some repair work on my roommate's laptop.  Right now, the main problem is there is a problem with her windows explorer.  Whenever she goes into her "My Pictures" folder, it crashes, and comes up with an error message referencing to a cyclic error.  Does anyone know what this is, and/or how to fix it?  I'm usually pretty good with computers, but I've never run into this, so I'm not quite sure how to repair this problem. -- Posted by rand0mguy at 7:26 pm on April 28, 2008 is it the "data error cyclic redundancy check". this is usualy a result of windows stuffing up while formatting or outlook stuffing up if so do the following. if not wat does the error acctualy say. ill give u the computer-moron version just incase lol. run command prompt by pressing windows key + r . type cmd and click ok. next type (without the speechmarks.. speechmarks are we in primary school.. quotation marks) "chkdsk /f" then press enter that will check the disc. if u get an error message saying it cant run type y and press enter. then restart. if no errors, cool. if that fix the problem cool. if not PM me
