...Set-up was unable to extract files from D:\game.cab ... Try extracting some files from this .CAB manually. The process may assist in locating the trouble. Cheers, PW.

Hi malibuca, Sounds like you've got a touchy cd reader or cd; assuming that d:\ is your cdrom reader.I have occasionally seen a cd that one computer can read and another cannot. (Not relevant anymore but originally was usually related to whether the CD was multi-session or not). If that is the only CD displaying the problem then it's probably the CD and they other computer's CD Reader is a better quality component. If a number if CD's start becoming quirky, then it's probably an alignment or dust problem with the CD reader. A quick test to isolate the problem to the CD/CD Reader (instead of WIndows corruption) would be to copy the CD contents to a temporary directory and seeing if you get an error (or just try copying the game.cab file since that was the original error message). Good luck, Steve
