I am still having this problem. I went to another computer and downloaded a
file that only showed on mine as corrupt. When I dl'd it on the other
computer, which is on the same network, to a flash drive I took it back to my
computer and it worked fine. The big difference between the two computers is
mine is running newly installed xp mce 2005 and the other is running xp home.
It makes no difference if I download using IE6 or Firefox. I cannot dl' IE7
unless I use the other computer and flash drive approach.
HELP
TIA

I have this same problem but only with downloads not email. Everything I.

flshdrive and dl'd from another computer on the network and then it runs fine
on mine. I also am using xp MCE 2005.Any help would be appreciated.

The main computer is Dell XPS running XP Media Center and is connected by
CAT5 cable to router. The other is an older Dell running XP Home, connected
by DLink Wireless G USB adapter. It works fine. Software setup is very close
to identical including browser and email clients, Symantec AntiVirus
(different year versions). The newer one uses the Symantec Firewall, the
older just the XP firewall. The older one obviously has less power and speed.
The problem has been going on for a while, and only recently a major issue
since my parents got broadband and are sending me pictures now, most of which
are mangled in one form or another (colors bad, missing parts, etc.) Files
copied to my kids using the same software (Thunderbird) using the other
computer are transmitte perfectly.
Not just email, though. Zip files, program downloads are mostly bad, too,
whether I use IE, Firefox, Opera, ftp or html.
I've tried different cables, connecting directly to DSL modem, even putting
the wireless adapter from the second Computer on the newer one. Still bad
files.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

For some time, a large percentage of files I download, either from email or
the internet, have been corrupted. The larger the file, the more likely it is
to be corrupted. DSL modem, router seem not to be the problem, since the
other computer on my home network has no such problems.
I am running XP, have an integrated Intel Pro/1000 PL adapter. All drivers,
etc., are the latest. This computer is connected by wire to the router,
though the problem still exists when I connect by a wireless connection.
Any ideas?
What's the difference between this computer, and the other computer?
* Different connectivity?
* Different hardware?
* Different OS?
* Different software?
* Different downloaded files?
Details could be critical here. How easily can you reproduce the problem?

Have you tried, for instance, reading the same email / downloading the same
files from the other computer?
