I tried to install Final Fantasy XI on my computer and it said that I had to install Play Online first. So I did this and partway through the installing process an error message comes up saying: "Error 1335. The cabinet file Data1.cab required for this installation is corrupted and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD - ROM, or a problem with this package." There are three buttons at the bottom of the message: "Abort" "Retry" "Ignore". Pressing Abort just cancels the installation, pressing retry just makes the same message come up again, and pressing ignore brings up an error message saying the installation failed. I tried to start the installation over and over and the same thing happened every time. Now my CD - ROM drive won't read any discs. Please help.

Thanks

PS I have a Recovery CD. Will that help?

I was just reading through another topic and Smokey said not to get Wild Tangent. Well somehow I have it. Will getting rid of this fix my problem with Final Fantasy XI and Play Online?

And one more thing. My CD drive won't read any CD's now. Doesn't matter what it is.

Okay you can delete this topic now because I solved the problem myself. My CD - ROM Drive died. I replaced it and the game now works. Thanks for trying to help!
