Hey all,
Quite often when dl'ing new programs, updates or firefox plug ins, I get a 'file is corrupt' or 'windows has found a problem with this file' when I attempt to install them.
It used to happen A LOT, but since then I have reformatted and most such updates go fine (formerly WMP 11, IE7, various other files would give me these errors; since the reformat most of these go off without a hitch - windows live messenger's new version won't update and results in one of these messages').
Anyway, I just installed BF2, then Special Forces, and then downloaded the full 1.41 patch. When I try to patch the game, the patch setup.exe results in a '...encountered a problem and needs to close, send to microsoft blah blah blah' error, every time.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I got the patch from EA's site and haven't tried anywhere else, as it's not only this patch that gives me installation problems.
If anyone has any useful advice it would be appreciated.
Thanks group.
edit: sorry, I'm using XP SP2, and have never had a hardware problem so I didn't include specs.
