Hi Vash_The_Stampede, hi everyone, On my own computer with Ws98SE, in the C:\Windows\Options\CABS folder, I have: - 23 .exe files including INSTALL.exe (Dos programs) - 4 .COM files (Dos programs) - 11 .CAT files - 1 INSTALL.TXT file - 12 .DLLs - 4 .BINs - 1 WINTUTOR.DAT - 1 SETUPNM.BAT - 8 various files(.CIF .OCX .PWL .RTL .SYS .XPR .386 .VXD .WAV Dos shortcut) - 11 .INFs - 26 .ICM - 70 .CAB I hope you have them all too! Have a good day, Gérard from Paris, France

Hi! Is it only the cabfiles on the cd or do you have the installationfiles as well? Lets assume you have a cd-rom on your computer, if so: Boot the comp up with a win 98 startdisk and enable cd-rom. Move to C: "C:" Make a directory on C: "md cabs" (without the "). Move to your cd-directory (if you only have one partition its D:)(if you use a win98SE bootdisk the cd-rom will move to E:) Write "dir" and see if your cabs is in a folder. If they are in a folder write "cd foldername" then once you stand were the files are you write "copy *.* c:\cabs" and all the files will be copied to the C:\cabs-folder you made in an earlier stage (it takes a little while). Move back to C: then write "cd cabs" Now your almost done, write "install" and watch the magic :) Good luck / Comus

Thanks. Ill try that.
