So i just reformatted and put windows XP Pro on. Ive got all new Hardware except Hardrive and Ram. Anyways. Whenever I try to download my basic stuff, like, Winamp, AIM, Firefox, anything that is a program. Ive been able to download MP3s but other then that I just get a essage along the lines of it being a corrupt download or incomplete download when i try to run it. Is this some lame XP protection tat i can turn off? Or something else?
I'm seriously confused. I'm using utorrent, but I don't think that's the problem. Every single thing rar'd I d/l gets a CRC error, Could it be windows firewall? My d-link router? Bad motherboard?
I run an XP on my laptop. I was downloading a large game file (900mb) and my internet got cut off during the download and it stopped midway.My computer is VERY short of HDD space, so it was crucial I delete the space wasted in my partial download, but I can't find it.
- I tried deleting my temporary internet files & dowloaded program files through Disk Cleanup
- I also tried running a Search for the file name.
Nothing seems to work. If someone can help me find and delete the impartial download so I can get my 800mb's back.
Boot-up ceases prior to desktop display. Attempted to reinstall windows, but ended up with 2nd WIN2K boot option, which works fine as basic O/S.Ran CHKDISK on C: drive. After initially correcting multiple errors, drive is now OK. I have original WIN2K Pro install disk, but not all drivers for peripherals- help me repair original install.
I know there are loads of threads on system restore - I've checked as many as I could and can't find the same problem, but I apologize if the answer's out there and I've missed it. I have had loads of trouble with my SR - basically it won't restore to any of my restore points and says the restoration is incomplete. I tried turning it off, rebooting and then starting it again, and after setting a few RPs and carrying out a few "normal" restorations, it all went to pieces again and wouldn't go back to any of the points - even the ones that had worked before. I've read on these forums that Norton anti-virus can affect SR... I have AVG 7 as my anti-virus, but I do have Norton as my firewall (I know everyone hates Norton, but it came with my new browser when I changed ISP and I just thought it would be too complicated to change it!)A long while ago I had the same problem, and eventually I had to re-install XP because of the mess I'd got it into, so I hope that doesn't have to happen again, but I really have no idea where to go from here, so any advice would really be appreciated. I did recently cause myself a load of trouble by running my Registry Mechanic halfway through the installation of IE7 (that gives you an idea of the sort of idiot I am!) but this was happening before that, so I don't think it's connected.At the moment the computer seems to be running ok - but obviously with no SR when I do eventually mess it up (again!) I'm going to be stuck.
i cannot seem to do a system restore any which way i try. not even in "safe mode." i cannot find any kind of information about this anywhere, not even microsoft.i was having this problem before and my system was so messed up i started over and installed a brand new hard drive reinstalled windows xp, driver and anti-virius software. i used my pc for a few hours and now the same stuff is happening again.
I have no problem with opening System Restore. But this is what happens; http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3785/restincmp.jpg I've tried more that 5 different dates to restore. I must use it because i have problem as: http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?threadID=381064&tag=forums06;forum-threads
Need to do a system restore to a previous date, but it won't let me.I entering in safe mode and restoring there to a previous date of November 7th 2008 and then click next my computer shuts down and reboots then opens up normally but it says the system restore was incomplete because of an improper shut down and it says this every time i try to do it.
i have been trying to do a system restore for the last week but every time i try i get an error after it's rebooted to say system restore was unable to restore my system as operation is incomplete.i have tried many different restore points but i always get the same error msg
I recently bought a second hand computer. It originally had vista ultimate installed but i was experiencing system freezes during computer game play on games that aren't too high end. I guessed that it might have been an incompatible driver after having read on the internet about the problems people were having with vista/64Bit compatibility.
I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.
Okay so I usually leave my computer on all the time. I went to bed and when I got up it was off and couldn't get it to turn on. So I assumed it might be the power supply so I went and bought a new one from stamples. He turned on for maybe 5 seconds then turned off. so I took it back thinking maybe I didn't have enough watts. The higher watts didn't doanything. I am lost without my computer can anyone help? I have Win XP..Could it be the fan? Even though the fan worked when i plugged in first PS...Second didnt do anything. Could it be something to do with motherboard?
Well my downloads are kind of slow lately, is it something i installed, because i checked and i have no viruses, and my Internet is pretty fast. Here is a Hijack i did, it's kind of messy
Restore Incomplete is the message regardless of what date is entered. I have 8.5 gig disk space and turning off RESTORE , rebooting and creating a new restore point did not solve the problem--the message remained the same. Other than reinstalling XP I am at a loss as to what to do. I do not have a need to restore at the moment but I may need to in the future.
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 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 am looking for a way of editing my media centre downloads that i have made though my media centre tv, i have tryed a few programs but none seem to do the file type there are in,
Everytime i download someone that isnt minute the download stops completely at a random point, sometimes 45%, 67%, 89% etc.It was working fine a week ago but since then i've tried everyday and it's been the same.I'm connected using a wireless aerial to a belkin router. but as i said everything was fine until a week ago.
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.

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.
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)
Was going to try this. I downloaded all necessary downloads it then started installing downloads when it got to messenger I waited six hours and it still was installing; I have DSL/256 and this seemed to long
