Last week I finished building a new computer, and put win98se on it. Two days ago I downloaded a demo of Nero 6.6, but I couldn't finish the installation because I needed DirectX 9. After I ran the installation of DX 9, I got this message:
The cabinet file necessary for the installation cannot be trusted.
And, of course, the installation was aborted. I've gone to this page http://askleo.com/a_cabinet_file_can...sted_why.html, run scandisk in Dos, uninstalled and reinstalled DX9 3 times, tried to get an update from M$, but went round and round, including uninstalling Active X (only to find out M$ didn't provide a re-install link. And I'm been to Google's links, but to no avail.
Ultimatelt I'm going to run Ubuntu, a Linux distro, and have already partitioned the hdd. But in the meantime, I thought I'd reinstall 98se, and see if that will clear up the problem. I have 2 other 98s, and they're running fine. Don't know what happened here.
I'd greatly appeciate any suggestions. Thanks,
Mocha
