Hello! I just reinstalled Windows XP and I'm having a number of problems installing programs.

Trillian Pro, McAfee, AIM, and iTunes are all not downloading right. I keep getting error messages, saying that the files are corrupt or that the program needed to close. Bah. Frankly, I have no idea what could be happening. Since I reformatted, it can't be a virus, though, right? Also, I am able to download these programs from other computers and take them over to my own via my iPod. I can take them off the iPod and install them without difficulty. But, still, if I try to download them myself, I get errors.

Also, I "upgraded" my other drive with XP, too, by accident. Don't ask me why, it's convoluted and makes no sense. Anyway, now I've got two OS's, and at startup I'm asked to select one. According to Windows Help, I should be able to delete the other OS with the Control Panel, but it's not showing up in my Add/Remove Programs. Any suggestions with removing it?

This may be of note; I've had some difficulty re-downloading my drivers as well. I can't get my printer set up, for example. So, if my drivers could be a problem...

Oh, and also I note that it may be a problem with extracting the files. I just downloaded and tried to install AVG (the spyware software you guys suggest), and got this error:

"Extracting files.dat
CRC failed in files.dat
Extracting setup.dat
CRC failed in setup.dat

More specifically, the problem seems to be with downloading the files correctly and extracting them properly. Take Winzip for example. I download the file and I get a message saying that a file in the ZIP is damaged, "Possible cause: file transfer error."

Another example. A friend says me a zip over the Trillian chat program (which I was only able to install by downloading it on another computer, bringing it home on my iPod and installing that way). I get the message "Unexpected end of file" and I cannot extract the files. It must be something to do with the way my computer is downloading files, since I can install them just fine if I downloaded them on another computer and brought them to mine on my iPod.

Trying to install AIM gives me a message saying the installation file is incomplete...

Does that help explain the problem more specifically? Hope someone can figure this out! It's reaaaaaally annoying.
