I need it to run the latest DBP. It say that " a cabinet file nescessary for installation cannot be trusted", whatever one of those is. I downloaded from the official microsoft website several times, ran a "scandisk" and Panda antivirus software, but it still won't work. Anybody know what to do?

Its happened to a few other people too - no-one knows the cause or solution.

Personally, its probably time to re-install Windows...

If you Google that message you find it's quite a common problem and usually because Cryptographic Services is not running on your pc.

Just do some Googling and you will find a few answers.

In fact why didn't you Google first before asking us?

Boo!

What is saying that Panda anti virus software?
Have you tried turning off Panda anti virus software or any other anti virus programs you may have running and installing direct x.

:Edit: Or just do what spooky said since he already knows the problem and solution.

I did google it, and the most common thing seemed to be the "cryptographic" stuff and scandisk. I tried those, and it still didn't work. I posted here on the offchance the right answer would magically appear.

Ok, couple of things:

1) Ensure your install of SP2 isn't buggered. (And ensure you have SP2 installed!)

2) Ensure you are NOT running the beta of SP2. This causes the error in alot of cases

3) Make sure the temp folder on C: (or possibly in the windows dir) is EMPTY


4) Make sure Windows File protection is enabled (if you haven't knowingly disabled it, it will still be on)

5) Try doing a system restore to the earliest point possible, because this error is generally caused by a corruption somewhere.

6) See if there is anyway to verify your 'drivers.cab' is not corrupt, as this is one of the main cabinet files that is played with


7) Still nothing? Ensure SP2 is installed, and try this:


1. Go to start menu, then Run
2. Type in cmd
3. Type the following, pressing enter after each line. (press OK if prompted)

regsvr32 /u softpub.dll
regsvr32 /u wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /u initpki.dll
regsvr32 /u dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /u rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /u gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /u slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /u cryptdlg.dll
exit

THEN

Restart the computer.
Go to start, then run.
Type in cmd.
Type the following, pressing enter after each line:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
exit

(not the same as the first time, which had a /u switch)

Thanks. I'll try when i get home.

1) and 2) Windows update told me i don't have any updates to install.


7) Crikey! BTW how do i get to the run thing without start menu?- my windows explorer doesn't work, but internet explorer does, so i can browse my harddisk with that.

I think i should probably do the repair install and try and get windows explorer working again- i hopefully should be able to download and burn an installation cd, because i think my comp didn't come with one, or i lost it.

Ctrl+Alt+Del to get the task manager, then File->New Task then enter the name of the program you want to run.

3), 4) Haven't tried this yet

5) Tried using system restore ages ago- it didn't go back far enough

6) See if there is anyway to verify your 'drivers.cab' is not corrupt, as this is one of the main cabinet files that is played with

I googled this, but could only find expensive things to fix "cab" files

7) Still nothing? Ensure SP2 is installed, and try this:

I tried that, and got the same error.

I also tried a suggetsion from another site which was to run a "sfc" scan. Restarting after this, my computer runs windows explorer fine now! I also stumbled on my graphics card options and fiddled with these before restarting, so it may have been that that fixed it.

I still get the same cabinet file error when trying to install directx. I did dxdiag, and apparently i am running

"DirectX 9.0c"

but when i run DBP (version 6 i downloaded from the DBP forum here a couple of days ago- release 10 or something), gives me an error

"DirectX 9.0 installed (589824). Requires DirectX 9.0c (December 2005) or later."

What does this mean?

Also, on logging on after restart, i get message

"Windows cannot find C:Windowssystem32kernels64.exe ......"

EDIT: Google tells me this is a virus! Hopefully it'll tell me how to kill it.

It means you need a later version of DirectX

Never heard of sarcastic humour? Anyway it was a joke. Your quote has a double meaning.

I got it.

My computer is fixed! I got rid of that "kernels64" thing by using AdAware, i think. Now my comp doesn't `chug` randomly- i thought my game was causing that- now it runs as fast as a greased whippet!

I managed to install dx9c by getting the complete directx installer and running that instead of the upgrade. Upgraded to DBP version 6 OK- the only thing i had to modify were the shadows- dark ghosting is back the way it used to be, and i can't call anything "floor" now.

Upgrading to new newton is going to be a complete mare tho.

Thanks for helping guys.
