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...
