I've downloaded the ethernet etc, and graphics drivers and put them into .rar files.I also downloaded winrar and tried putting the .exe as a data file (all files on one disc) so i could install that, then the drivers, but the exe doesn't even appear on the disc so i cannot install anything. cannot put the downloaded .exe of winrar on disc to install on another machine, doesn't even show, and as such drivers are useless.
View 2 RepliesThis is a very weird problem. Anytime i download .rar files from the internet, it doesn't seem to matter if its a set of 50, 200mb files. or single files that ar anywhere from 40-100mbs i get completely random CRC errors in those files.
Example 1: I downloaded a set of 57 200mb files, and files 08,10,11,12,24, and 36 are corrupted. However if i re-download those files i will have a different set of corrupted files.
Example 2: I download a set of random sized files anywhere from 40-100mbs each all single files not .001 style setup of rar files. perhaps 2 or 3 of those files will have files inside that are corrupted. However if i wait a short while, and retry rarely but sometimes, they actually work, and do not seem to be corrupted. Sometimes after 3 or 4 tries they are still corrupted.
Example 3: I had a set of files totaling around 8gigs and i decided to pack them up. So i compressed them in rar format. to double check my work, i uncompressed them immediately and used them. they worked fine. around a month later i needed those files again and i uncompressed them again. around 4 of the files were corrupted. Every time i unrar them its the same files that are corrupted.
Many files have been downloaded off of rapidshare but not all.
I have already updated all my drivers to the latest including BIOS drivers
I have tried this problem on Winrar and 7zip same problem on both.
I have been advised my problem could be having a messy registry so i have used registry cleaners to no luck.
My current system setup is:
Asus Striker II NSE
2GB of OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Fatal1ty Edition Ram x2
Nvidia 9800 519mb x2 SLI
WD Raptor 150gb x2 Raid 0
Windows7 Professional x64bit
(also had this same problem on Windows7 Ultimate x64bit)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to ask how to set WinRAR to exclude files with the exact filenames: 'thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' (without the quotes, ignore case) from being extracted from an archive.Ex. Files with these filenames should not be extracted
[code]...
Abcd.DS_STORE.txt In 'Settings->Security->Prohibited file types->File types to exclude from extracting', if I just type in 'thumbs.db .DS_Store' (without the quotes) in the field, will it work the way I described? Also, does anyone know if WinRAR has a syntax guide for the Prohibited file types list in case I'd like to add more filenames or be flexible with the rules I need?The reason for this question, is I'd like to not extract unnecessary files from ZIP, RAR or 7z archives in Windows 7 - files like Windows 2000/XP's Thumbs.db file (Thumbnail cache) and Mac OS X' .DS_Store file (Desktop Services Store), while not being too strict and also not extracting files which just contain 'Thumbs.db' or '.DS_Store' in its filename.
So I have 42gb of priceless tv shows that are taking up too much space on my comp... What I want to do is compress these files. The only issue is that in order compress I need the room for the uncompressed AND compressed files.Is there a way I can tell Winrar to delete complete files as it is done rarring them? (Assuming winrar compresses files one at a time) That way if it were to stop suddenly like in a power outage or something the files wouldn't get deleted unless there were fully compressed... So yea I need to compress files but don't have the room to compress them...

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have an bit of an odd and I think unique problem (as many searches came up with no solutions). Simply put, my boot manager is missing, but only when my windows install disc is not in the disc drive. It started several months ago and I just left it be, let the disc it int he disc drive and it was not that big of a deal. But just did a clean install couple days ago I re-installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my computer (using an upgrade disc if that makes a difference).I formatted the drive with what I guess is a quick format (the option the install disc gives you). I have tried doing a repair with the install disc but no problems are found every time I try.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am still quite puzzled as to how are you supposed to install the Windows 7 OS without an actual CD? I've only done it previously with XP home edition and I had a CD. If you still do not understand what I mean, I'm confused on how will the OS, during installation, gather the information when there's no CD inside to read from?
My second question would be, which one of the versions (Home, Professional, Ultimate) is the best for GAMING? I have no need for security, but anything that would make my games, internet, etc run smoother would be of use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 64-bit and I burnt some pictures on a CD-R for my mom. She has XP 32-bit and when she puts the disc in it says file is corrupt/unreadable..I tried it yesterday too and you simply can't access the disc any possible way. Does this have something to do with 64/32 compatibility? I used Windows Explorer default burning method on a brand new disc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedNo issues with earlier builds, but on one portable and one server I am now getting issues with the RTM bits where the dvd disc stops being read by the dvd drive.
What is weird, is I start the load process from the dvd drive no problem.
But, after it goes a while, I get an error on both of these different machines that there is no valid cd/dvd driver and will go no further in the install process. (Works fine on a different portable I have). On one portable, I hook up a USB drive and load the OS from it.
When loaded, I look at device manager, and it says the dvd drive is installed,
and all the drivers look fine. But, if I put a CD or DVD into the drive, nothing.
I know everything is good, so what changed in the RTM bits and how do I fix?
I recently purchased Star Wars: The old Republic for windows.
I upgraded from windows vista about a year ago, but I have yet to install a game with the use of disk, The problem is, when I put the disk in the DVD/RW drive, ...nothing happens.
The only time something really happens , is when it shows the DVD ROM thumbnail, but when I Open it up, it either freezes my computer, or It shows nothings in the file.
I have tried running it through the run application, and it gives me a notice that the file is corrupted. I have tried using this game in my other computer and it works fine..
Just recently, I created a system repair disc with a 4.7 gigabyte DVD-R disc. After the disc was formatted, it's capacity was reduced to 146 megabytes.How do I get the disc's capacity back to normal? I don't want to waste 4.68 gigabytes just for a repair disc.If anyone knows how to get my disc's space back, please tell me. I'll learn from my mistake and use smaller discs first before using gigantic ones.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been looking to upgrade an older Thinkpad T61 with windows 7, now I've been looking on Amazon and have seen the OEM version. Now I have 7 pre installed on another machine, and will buying an OEM version still work fine. Also I have 64 bit on my main system and I was wondering about compatibility on this one, it has 2 gig's of ram and a core 2 duo T7300 so I think it is 64 bit compatible and just need some clarification. 64 bit would give me some head room if I ever want to give it 4 gigs.
