Help!!Cannot download;"the setup files are corrupted. please obtain a new copy"

[isha 10]

Hi there;

 

I'm having a problem with my laptop. Previously everything has been fine, and then today I am unable to download programs (I can still download music p2p).

 

I have tried to download an MP3 splitting program and get the message "the setup files are corrupted. please obtain a new copy of the program".

 

I deleted the corrupted files and tried again, the same.

 

I have now tried 3 alternative programs, run Spyware and Antivirus software and performed system restore to no joy.

 

Searching the internet the only solutions I could find were people who were using a particular type of network card, which I'm not.

 

I have a Dell Inspiron 640m, not altered in any way and I am up to date with antivirus and spyware programs and tests.

 

This is infuriating me! Any help gratefully received

tried audacity?

downloads can get corrupted when downloading em (normally rars or zip files, not sure why, it can suddenly start doing it and then stop.

used to happen to me when I had dodgy ram.
