I have used this website several times in the past to find solutions to some of my problems. I have normally been able for find what I need, without asking for help. Not for this problem, though. So, I am one of your newest members to this really cool site. I donated $20 to support this valuable resource. All files that are downloaded are corrupted
I noticed that my AntiVirus was not up-to-date (I got the MS security warning that virus prot was not running). I tried the "Live Update" feature and it didn't work (Live update could not uncompress the list of available updates. The update list somehow got corrupted. You need to run LiveUpdate again to get a new update list. I just shrugged it off and figured I would fix it later. Then I realized that I could not download other stuff, like updates to SpyBot S&D,iTunes, Typhoon Rising, MS Office
I was having a problem with a lot of my Data becoming damaged or corrupted. At first i expected a virus (I run Nod32), but now i'm not sure. I reformatted, and repaired the MBR. When I run Nod32, it usually tells me one or more files have been damaged.
Experiencing issues with corrupt downloads. Initially we believed that the issues were solely involving Unreal Tournament (GOTY edition) however, I realized that it has effected the download games I use too.
Able to play game maps which he has had downloaded on the computer previously. I can play or install games which I downloaded previously. However, all new downloads/maps seem to be corrupted either in download or install. I have tried multiple sites (for game trials) though I have a subscription to one of the big sites. The files are consistently corrupt. AVG has not picked up any virii at this point.
Almost any file I download ends up being corrupted. I've downloaded files from respectable download sources (download.com, etc), and it all ends up with some sort of corruption. My BIOS didnt detect my RAM speeds correctly, so I fixed those. Don't think that really would cause any problems either way.
I have a damaged Windows XP CD and do not think its fair I pay just to request the info in getting it replaced. I saw this option and wanted to see if I could get something done about it.
I have a damaged OEM CD and the expired CDKEY that came with it from maximum activations as I was having BSOD problems which then was discovered to be bad RAM. The company I bought it from is now bankrupt and non-existant. Now I am left with a CD that makes a great coaster and a CDKEY that has expired from activation. When I first installed it 1 support request was already used? I had made one request and registered it with Microsoft so it has to be on archive even if it hasn't been used.Since I can't copy and paste.

I am running CCleaner version 2.31.1153 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I have spent the day trying to download Version 2.32.1165 from both Piriform and File Hippo. I get a box saying ccsetup232.exe. I click on Save File (the other option is Cancel) and everything disappears. I get a notice that all files have finished downloading but the Downloads box is blank and there is no Installer on the desktop. There is nothing which allows me to right-click and install as Administrator. I have turned off all programs which might interfere. I have Used System Restore to take me back 3 months but it still won't download and install.I can't update WinPatrol either. (It's turned off now.) The same thing happens.

I have been trying to disable automatic downloads using the Control Panel. firstly using the "Automatic Download" icon.that produced a respite of 1 or 2 days before the little yellow shield appeared at the bottom of my screen again.then i tried using the "Administrative tools" section. this also produced a temporary lull but the yellow shield keeps reappearing
After I cleaned up his pc the best I could and ran Spybot and Adaware I ran Hijack this. They have a program that downloads weather information and could be spyware. It does download ads. (I think it's called weather bug) I'm trying to convince them to get rid of it. It comes up in the Spybot scans as mini bug or something.
Set a sub woofer with no magnetic shielding right next to my computer tower for about 10 hours or so. I mean you can see the sub woofer effect the monitor when your holding it from about 8 inches away, so should I be worried about my hard drive? The computer appears to be functioning normally, but still, it would almost seem crazy for it not to be damaged. I don't know what difference it makes but here are the specs
Back at Christmas of 2002 I transfered all my files with a intellimover program. I found these files while clicking the Tools button on my browser window, Internet Options from there and then View Objects. The first thing in this downloaded list is a filed listed as and it says that it is damaged. It also has a date on it that is before my transfere. This file came from a HP Windows98 computer to my now Dell XP WIndows. It's only 4kb. It also says it was accessed today for some reason. Is my computer really using this file? Is this a file I need. I think its a windows update thing but now sure.
XP Pro had the OS go bad. It would only start to load and then say the needed files were damage or missing. I removed the hard drive and read it on another XP machine but could find no data (pictures) anywhere under Documents and Settings or anyplace else. So I reinstalled XP Pro to the c:windows directory and it works fine, but can still find no data. Is the data being hidden? How can I get it back?
I have a little problem maybe someone has a answer for me. I have a WD 250 GB HDD labeled as the D Drive. Well this morning I cannot get to it from windows at all a error message pops up saying MBR is corrupted or unreadable and that is it, the drive has worked flawlessly until the past week. Whenever I copied a file to it then tried to view or play it it wouldn't let me into the folder where i placed it saying a similiar message the folder has become corrupted and locked me out as to say. Today the system doesn't even recognize the drive at all.
I have a Toshiba tablet PC XP2;It boots up very slowly and I have narrowed down issue to two services which when enabled cause the problem.Workstation and Network Location awareness services.When disabled, the machine boots fine. But is useless unless the services are started manually.
I'm having all sorts of problems with my computer (Windows Explorer shutting down, DVD drive not reading blank or used DVD+Rs correctly, etc). Tried to repair using SFC /Scannow but since it says that there are files that are missing or replaced by other files it asks for the SP2 CD- which I don't have since it was an automatic download.
1. Any way to remove SP2? It's not listed in the add/remove programs? 2. If I put in the SP1a CD, will it repair Windows to the SP1A setting WITHOUT causing me to lose all my data? 3. Are there problems with the updates from last week because all the problems started after the seven automatic downloads. 4. Can I download the SP2 somewhere online and run it to correct the problems?
I get this message when i try to run Mozilla Thunderbird.It says Windows had to be shut down to protect it from being damaged, and its got a blue background. I read the Microsoft remedies which was to basically switch off your page file, restart windows and switch it on again. But I don't feel safe doing that. If you need anymore information then I'll give it to you.
I am trying to install M office 2007 for my folks and the operating system is XP Pro 2002 Service Pack 1.

Using XP Pro. When I download a file that opens in Windows Media Player - it always downloads to a temp folder first. How do I find this temp folder? I can not locate it on my PC

I have Windows XP Pro everytime I download a file the Open, Open Folder, Save As, Save box doesn't open up and the file downloads automatically to my Temporary Folder, any way of configuring the settings for the box available?
I keep getting a bunch of different error messages. I am using my Dell Inspiron 4150 for browsing the net, facebook, the usual stuff. I have Windows XP 2000 and yeah it can be a bit slow but I admit my laptop is a piece of junk, I have never had this problem, no recent applications or unusual downloads. When ANY of the following messages appear, I close the window that pops up and it closes whatever window I was browsing the inet with. It's really annoying and its happening more and more frequently (every 2-3 minutes)
