Hi all,
I installed Windows 7 Home Premium today (fresh install on formatted hard disk) and am downloading some programs I used previously with Vista. I'm getting a hell of a lot of corrupted downloads though - Adobe Reader gives a checksum error when I try to extract it, Toontrack EZDrummer (which uses an Aladdin self-extracting archive) gives a CRC mismatch error when I try to extract it, the nVidia graphics drivers had some 7zip error when I tried to extract them (fortunately got a working download from somewhere else for those) also got a 7zip error trying to install Avast! antivirus. Some other downloads work fine. This happens when downloading with IE, Chrome and Firefox (including using DownThemAll download manager), and was never a problem before I installed Windows 7. The errors are reproducible - so downloading the same program from the same place with different web browsers will always give the same problem when opening the program.
Am I just being unlucky or is there some issue with Windows 7?
Thanks!
ETA: My PC is a desktop, Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard, Intel Core i7 processor, 6GB RAM, Geforce GTX 275, 1TB Samsung SATA hard disk, if that's helpful at all...
