C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab\[all files] are corrupt

[Sarah]

I am running a virus scanner that is reporting that C:\WINDOWS\Driver
Cache\i386\driver.cab and all its file in it are corrupt. Can I extract a
file from the Windows disc or will scandisc correct it?

Running SFC did not help. The following are the files corrupted.

Cache\i386\driver.cab\es198x.sys corrupted
\i386\driver.cab\xxwh1hlp.hlp corrupted

Cache\i386\driver.cab\zlogic.cyz corrupted

Full list of corrupted files too large to post here. Is this a Windows
driver. Can I tell which device this driver is for?

The scanner that detected this is Kaspersky anti virus.

I am reading the pages you posted. I just don't yet understand it. I ran
the SFC, put the windows XP system disc in and it ran something. But in the
end didn't correct anything.
