was reinstalling fs9 and it seems my disk #4 is scratched, and the world.cab is corrupted.

I can open all the cab files except that one.

can anyone copy the file from disk 4 and email it to me? I figured i could extract it and manually install.

(email address removed)

I would be eternally grateful!

Some will likely respond saying that the "sharing" of such files is technically illegal. I am not going to comment one way or the other on that.

It probably would be better served if you just purchased FS2004 again - it is still available if you do a little searching - at very reasonable cost. Then you would have a decent backup of all disks.

Try E-bay, outlets such as Fryes or Best Buy and Amazon. I have seen it in the $15 range just a few weeks ago.

Good Luck!

I still have my original discs in there origin case purchased in 2005. It's surprising how long they all last when you don't have to use them (opps!) Roll Eyes

I have the fs9 no CD patch file also, but things still happen.

of course i'll have to buy it again, but i was hoping in the meantime someone would be kind enough to lend me the files so i can get up and going again. i bought some new payware scenery last night before i tried to reinstall and now I'm bummed about not being able to use it.
