re: missing files Thursday, February 10, 2005 at 5:37 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mitsumi19 (1 messages posted) Hello, I also bought a legitimate version of Windows XP with SP1 integrated and I also have the same errors from the first post. Now i dont really care about png's, a few wavs, or a driver for ancient hardware that I dont have anyway. However I just bought a new computer, and I borred windows reduced media edition from a friend of mine, since his computer broke down, and he wanted to see if it worked nicely on mine. Whenever I install the cd, i get the same errors as described above, yet the files are this time not cyclad.inf, but the very necessairy driver.cab, and also regedit.exe I have literrally *no* idea how to solve it, since the whole trick of burning it in DOS mode didn't work either. I tried that 3 times. Evenso, the theory of 8.3 filenames is nice, but driver.cab should give no problems in DOS since that is only 6.3. I've tried it with several different cd's/dvd's to make sure its not the media, and I also tried it on 4 (!) different computers, with all different kinds of hardware, and even switching or taking out a stick of RAM like described in other forums did not work. I'm kinda getting tired of it all... Dont get me wrong, I do have a legitimate version of XP already installed but I cannot afford it to let one of the 2 computers I currently own go dead, due to a failure during the installation.
