 Thread : DVD/CD Combo Read Problem?
 
Profile: journeyman
More Information

:( I've had a re-occuring problem with loading programs (games) with my DVD Drive. On more than one game I tend to get various errors when loading. I get ".cab file is corrupt" on more than one program or "file doesn't match set up".
Could this be a problem with my DVD Drive not reading properly? I know at least one of the programs is good becuase it worked fine on my old computer.
Or could the problem be in my motherboard?
Thanks for any help.
