I try to download winzip or ect from the net and it always comes back with this:
winzip self-extractor header corrupt or bad
disk or file transfer error or unable to understand zip file format or invalid integration of files ?? Plus it won't let me
defrag or clean disk it will start and run
for few seconds and freezes.

You should also check the quality of your internet connection.
If you have set a minimum connection speed that is higher than your lines can support, you will generate a high number of errors. Yhis is a minor irritation when browsing, but as you have seen can cause poor results when downloading files.

Check the phone lines in your house. Try disconnecting every thing except your computer and see if that helps.

Another possibility is that you don't have enough space allocated for temp internet files, or you have the packet size set to high for your conection.
