Installation Problems

Postby swayne01 » Tue Apr 22, 2008 6:59 am

Hi Everyone,

I recently bought a new PC and am having a few issues installing FS2004. When it get's to around 6% it comes up with the message

"Setup failed to extract from D:/MSGAME1.CAB. This is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or a corrupt cabinet file. Please restart you machine and run setup again."

I have tried restarting many times and it still won't install. I have also tried borrowing another copy of the game from a friend and that did not work either.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

My System specs are:

Windows Vista 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 GO 2.40GHz Quad Core CPU Overclocked too 3.00GHz
GeIL 4GB PC2-6400 CAS4 (4x1GB) Dual Channel Kit (Overclocked at 800MHz+)
500GB Maxtor DiamondMax 22 32MB Cache SATA-2 Hard Drive
2x NVIDIA 9600 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) DirectX 10 Graphics Card configured in SLI
Samsung S203D 20x DVD

Scott,

I'd try dropping the overclock and see if that helps?

best,

Hi John,

My PC was already overclocked when I purchased it and I am not sure how to "tone it down".

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem. It's driving me crazy!!!!!

Thanks,

Scott
