Keep getting the error "Cannot copy file audio.big...." from the fifth CD for Battle for Middile Earth II. Any suggestions?

Nope. I have the DVD version and it works fine.
Usually when you see errors like that it cant read from the disc. Try checking for scratches or something. OR, it could be a bad burn, in which case you are screwed. Have you been able to install this game in the past, or is this the first time?

The game works fine for me on Vista 32 bit. What OS are you using??

I vaguely recall some game I had that had issues with the sound format I and had to load a patch from the internet, but dont know if it was BFMEII. (sorry to be so vague)

Google the game name and your OS and see if others have had the same problem.
I would agree with the poster who suggested a damaged disk, but this seems unlikely if it is a recently purchased retail copy.

Yup. Sounds like your CD is corrupt.
