Re: Mass Coruption with Downloaded Installations

Dave, I'm quite new to the windows problems, most of the time I could call my
friend Josh, or my friend Rick and I could have my answers in a matter of
minutes. Well, we had a little rough time, and we're not speaking anymore.

To answer your question on why I reinstalled windows: I usually format every
6 weeks. My computer gets bogged down from my work, from my gaming, from my
programming, and my modifications.

How I reinstalled windows:

I stuck the disc in my drive, booted up.
Asked me if I wanted to repair, pressed "ESC" to exit that.
I deleted my partition
Started formatting
Then windows installation kicked in.

As of December 6th, 2008 I formatted my hard drive. I install Windows
XP
professional 32bit. Any file I download, be it a Microsoft
Installation, or
another "Winamp", I get corruption errors. Archived files, such as
add-on's
for FireFox, Winamp, and Photoshop are corrupted. My question is
simple, how
do I fix this issue? It has haunted me for months. If computer specs
are
needed, I can post them.

It's possible you incorrectly installed Windows XP.

What was the method you used? If you can post a link to it, that would
be great. Are all your hardware drivers up to date? What XP Service Pack
level are you at?

Definitely post all relevant PC specs!

*Why* did you reinstall Windows in the first place?
