I’ve used every version of ie up to 7 with no real problems, but I figured it had to be the browser, so I switched to Firefox. No improvement!
Problems:
When downloading (WinXP PC) online, suddenly all zips and apps (even Flash Player for browser) started showing “incomplete” or as it’s called “Corrupt” files. One or two or maybe more small files would be left out. When finished downloading, it would say it completed the right mb’s, but when unzipping or trying to install, there would be files missing. Tried “Repair” in WinRAR, no help.
At the same time I noticed images were not showing up completely on sites. Large images would pixel out, or change color. Sometimes the entire page layout would show up wrong. It happened mostly at one site, but now does this on many.
I checked and rechecked for viruses. Nothing. The ISP is just a cable connection, which is fast, so I don’t know how it could be that.
I am at a loss for a solution at this point.
Any ideas? Anyone hear of this?
Btw, the graphics card is almost new, the drivers are up-to-date and the monitor is also in excellent shape.
