All of a sudden I started getting this error message when trying to install programs.

"An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file."

Nothing is wrong with the disks that I have as I have istalled them on other computers. If I download the program, I have tried several different sites to download from and the same result. Sometimes if I download the program on another computer and then istall it on this one, it works. Other times it doesn't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Could be a software incompatibality. Does this happen with all your instaliations, or only certain ones? I would check to make sure you dont have any running programs that could interfere with the instalation. Spyware could even be a proble, but I dont think that would cause a problem like this.
 
I already said from files downloaded from various sites.
