To resolve the problem if the NT5INF.CAT file is damaged or corrupted, follow these steps:

1. Use the EXPAND tool to expand NT5INF.CA_ to NT5INF.CAT.
2. Restart in safe mode, and then replace %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\NT5INF.CAT and %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dllcache\nt5inf.cat with the expanded file.NOTE: To view %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dllcache\nt5inf.cat, in Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab. Click to select Show hidden files and folders, and then click to clear Hide extensions for known file types and Hide protected operating system files.
