Check ...

you have moved / copied CAB.OVL from the CAB_OVL\ folder into CAB.

ensure you always enable and connect STiK before running Cab.

the cache sizes - if they exceed the size of your partition this 
happens.

Now "free" the cache. Sometimes it has to be done before it will work.

that you have HSMODEM installed correctly - use the IRC program to do 
this - use server stork.doc.ic.ac.uk, port 667, if you get some 
welcome text then HSMODEM is working and you can /quit
