Is there anything I can do? I am using Wincom Version 36 (32-bit). Your servant, Pancaratna das I doubt it is the hardrive problem. Maybe you were running your Com Program and the power went of and stuffed up your file cabinet. Well the only thing you can do is create a new file cabinet by deleting your old one or moving it some where else and then starting up you Com Program. It will promp you for a new file cabinet and you click yes. Bingo Correct me if I am wrong. Pluss If your file cabinet does not work how did you send this email. You probebly have already did what I say. Your servant Pradip das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 "Following error occurred while opening the cabinet: Error reading the database." WinCOM gives this error message only if there is bad sector on the hard disk. So running SCANDISK (or a similar program) is the only remedy. > I doubt it is the hardrive problem.

Just run SCANDISK and then in WinCOM "File"/"Repair the Filing Cabinet". In this way you will loose only a few texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
