C'mon Ash. How do you know they are corrupt and what problems are you having that you want to fix???

1. Do you have your original CDs that came with your computer???

2. Tell me what verson of Windows you are running and how many CAB files you have???

Cheers...

Answer 3

if you use winXP then from star--->run--->CMD
if you use Win98 then from start-->run-->command
go to the directory in which you have the CAB files

you must look for a file ( Extract.exe )
and then you can use it to deal with the bad .cab file

Answer 4

it might be easier to just do a repair install that way you wont lose any data you have saved
