Almost only corrupt downloads after replacing motherboard and processor
- Thread starter Amanda
- Start date
Then why do I get corrupt downloads on my external harddrive too when it's connected to my pc XFs? My external harddrive wasn't even plugged in at that time because I had my speakers on.
There is nothing in my startup, I normally delete programs that are in there, since it's always programs like adobe reader and words anyway.
In msconfig I got the following programs :
avgcc (visursscanner)
winampa (winamp)
spybotsd
spysweeper
soundman (audio program)
nvcpl
nwiz
nvmctray
skype
msnmsgr (msn)
ctfmon
teatimer (part of spybot)
emule (only way to download windows updates at the moment :s)
and then I have nerocheck (neru burning rom) and jusched (java) turned off.
It looks like a standaard Windows XP list to me.

When I saw this post it reminded me of when I first installed my motherboard. It was a NForce4. I was getting corrupt downloads and I thought I had formatted a partition incorrectly or something. I finally figured out that there's a component when you install the ethernet drivers for the mb that seems to have a bug and was messing up downloads. If you go to Add/Remove Programs and Select NVidia Drivers and Uninstall everything except Display, Ethernet, IDE and Nforce PCI driver. If there's anything about a Nvidia firewall get rid of it. As soon as I uninstalled that it was fine. Not sure if this is what you're experiencing but I figured I'd mention it nonetheless.
Yes I have. I did a quick format the first time and a full format when I noticed the corrupt downloads.
I've reinstalled the nvidia drivers again yesterday but I didn't come across a option where you don't install the firewall. In my "add or remove software" I can see these 2 installs : :nvidia drivers" and "nvidia forceware network acces manager". Is the last one the firewall then?
I haven't noticed a difference btw when I turn it off or does only uninstalling actually work?

off the internet
try erasing all the nvidia driver and reinstalling them

I've already reinstalled the drivers, so I don't think that's really going to help.
I also have a new problem now : programs sometimes just shut down without any reason and it doesn't give a error anywhere either.
I've had it a couple of times with firefox now and I was just talking with my parents on skype and that also suddenly shut down. I even had skype minimized so I couldn't have hit the quit button nor did I do that with firefox.
Does anybody know how you can prevent nvidia from installing the firewall?
That's one thing I haven't tried out yet.

well...
This is tricky, and if it is a software problem related to the nvidia firewall then its even more tricky. You see, the nvidia firewall is actually not software based, it is embeded into the nforce chipset, so it is a hardware firewall.
One way to get rid of the firewall I have seen is trash the chipsets, and uninstall the nforce software completely, reboot the machine, and then reinstall them off the motherboard's cd. During the installation wizard make sure that the 'network access manager' is not installed.
or go to
Start > Programs > NVIDIA Corp > Network Access Manager > Web-based Interface > Basic Configuration > Off
See what that does

Turning it off doesn't help and now I can't even unistall it anymore. Besides, my pc is formatting while I'm typing this.
I'm just going to go for a fresh start and not installing the firewall might help.
Something is definitly wrong and I hope it's software wise. I've already spent more then 700 dollars just replacing the parts...

It looks like it was indeed the firewall that caused the corrupt downloads.
They should really do something about that if you ask me. :S
Right now I still get the ftdisk and dhcp errors but I don't seem to have any problems anymore (uptill now that is
). Everything seems to be running fine, but since I don't trust my harddrives for 100% I'll just make sure that I keep everything back upped on my external one, just in case they do break down.
I'd like to thank everyone for helping me and I hope that this topic can be closed now.
