Help Needed (technical help)

Post by Vanidar »

Well I recently did a reformat of drive and have started to reinstall all my old programs.

Finally got around to installing BGII and Throne of Bhaal but something seems to have gotten to me ToB disc.

I get a CRC error on trying to install everytime. Have tried various troubleshooting methods to take care of it and as a result I think I have found the problem.

I have a corrupted file on the install disc. How this happened I don't have a clue (have installed from this disc maybe 20 times perfectly fine) but my Data2.cab file is now invalid and will not install. Specifially the 25NpcSo.bif file is corrupt.

I don't really want to wait for the hasle of getting my disc exchanged for a new one with Bioware so I am hoping that one of you guys might be willing to send me the Data2.cab from the install disc or put it up on a webspace so I could download it.

Would be very much appreciated. Until I get another copy of the Cab file I am unable to instal ToB.

Do you have a website to upload it to? It's too big for me to send via e-mail.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
