Hi, I am trying to get NWN installed on my PC and it keeps giving me an error saying that different files don't match the .cab file. Its not always the same file everytime either. I installed it on a friends computer to see if it was the CD but thats not it. Anybody have some advice?

Well - that is a difficult one to "debug" because it can be many things.

It could be your CD-rom drive can't read the disc - either because of the disc being dirty or damaged, or because your drive is damaged in some way.
The faster the drive, the more sensitive it usually is towards imperfections.
If you have more then one drive - try using the other one. If you have access to CD-R/RW, try seeing if you could make a backup and use that one.

It could also be related to other computer components, but that is pretty much impossible to say over the Internet.

I'd advice you to try and contact Atari/Bioware support and see if they have some suggestions (however - I'd think they just want you to clean the disc :) ).
