Unintelligible gibberish.

I got about two lines in, my eyes started to water, and I just gave up.

Spell-check and punctuation would really help.

ok i have come across many things in my PC years but this is brand new and
i
don't even know where to start.

since about 2 months i am having problems to install basically anything in
my pc generally when i run a setup exe file or a zip file somewhere in the
way i get the lovely file corrupted message and as u can understand there
isn't much u can do about it, this happens to me when i download from the
net
files to my computer( i have a external and internal hard drive doesn't
work
in both), from CD/DVD (i have two drives and it happens in both) and even
coming from any USB storage devices. The problem is that this files work
fine
in other computers and only ''hang'' on mine although most of the files
downloaded from the net using my PC don't work in other PCs also.

So i got tired and decided to just clean everything and setup xp again
surely it was a software prob. i started installing xp decided to do 3
partitions in my internal drive and left my external USB drive
disconnected
right after that it starts formatting partition c: to install xp
everything
fine till now. It starts copying the setup files to disk soon after file
corrupted cannot copy I retry . didn't work I had to cancel the setup o
reboot everything all over again and again started to copy files this time
I
got stuck half way done with a different file it seems the file that
previously didn't work was fine now. So I decide to go to my house mate
and
ask his laptop recovery cd guess what got the same problem in another file
so
I just quitted.

Yesterday I tried again with my own cd got stuck again so I decided to
call my friend that is a technician while I am in the phone I decided to
press retry once again and it worked!? So the files that was corrupted
just
5m ago is fine now?

Finally I was able to install xp and all the drivers needed I was pretty
happy and thought my problems where gone. After I install my anti virus
I
downloaded sp2 and . during sp2 setup file corrupted and I had to cancel.

I have downloaded sp2 5 times now none worked my problem isn't sp2 itself
but all other stuff that might not work in the future right now I cant use
AutoCAD requires sp1 or sp2 so can anybody tell me what is going on if it
isn't a software problem what is wrong?

My PC

Intel motherboard
P4 2.4 (512 bus)
2*256M ram (ddr333)
Asus V7100PRO (32M) Graphics card
Liteon DVD drive
Lg 52X cd burner
Maxtor 80GB internal hard drive
Western digital 160GB external drive

It is an oldie but it is only for work
sorry folks i know it is a big post but it is an anoying problem.
