try another computer through the same connection. if you're using a router or the like that could be the cause. when did this start?

I only have one computer... and no network or router....
I'm not really sure when it started, this is a new build, about 2 months old. I worked fine thru all the downloading of updates and that kind of stuff, I've noticed it for the last couple weeks. At first I thought my Winzip was bad.... I d/l a fresh copy and still have the same problem. exe's and the like are ok.... its just really zip files. And most downloads are zipped... Is there a setting in any of my security software that you know of that would cause this.... I'm getting ready to do a 100% scan with everything I've got. Norton IS Adware SE Pro Spyware Doctor Sypbot search & destroy any other ideas? Thanks |

Disable your firewalll temporarily when you are downloading and see if that helps.

Have you tried updating or changing your zip software?

WinZip
Have you tried Window's built-in ZIP capability? Are you downloading from the same site?

As a simple test, download 7zip - http://www.7-zip.org/ and see if it extracts the zip correctly.

Thanks for all the replys....
You all were pretty much right. It was an expired trial copy of WinZIP. I'm a registered user, but when I did the clean install of XP on this new build, I downloaded WinZIP from their site.... and never entered my serial#.... DOH! Man did that make me feel Stupid! Thanks again! Lee |

I would've thought it would have told you that, not say the files are corrupted.
