I can't imagine why this would happen for any other reason than a hard drive fault.

I have always had this kid if problem with winRAR thats why I aviod using it when ever possable, ;) but yeah a bad sector could cause the same error.

Hmm... never had any problems with Winrar myself. Although the interface does have some minor, but annoying flaws.

I dont see how it could be the archiver's fault at all, unless combined with certain sysem configurations (my friend bought a shitty motherboard that was somehow linked to CRC errors in 90% of archives he had, oddly enough).

Re-install doom3. That should do the trick.

so far jls23's suggestion seems the most logical. Could be bad files perhaps?

Virus-infected files, which are henceforth corrupted?
