I just managed to install WinXP Pro cleanly on ym new pc.
I also have a Radeon 9600 All In Wonder, and the latest
drivers from the ATI site. I go to install SOF2MpTest
(from an exe file) and half way through it tells me it
has encountered an I/O error and the file is corrupt. It
gives that error to every .exe program that tries to
install anything. I've tried over 5 files and WinXP says
they're all 'corrupt'. I have ran PCDoctor-OnCall and it
said I have 3 major errors in the startup and registry
(but I just installed windows!!)... I can't have the
program fix it because I'd need to buy it first. Thats
why I need your help. Let me know a.s.a.p. Thanks.
 
Hi sYn,

The most common causes for that problem can be solved with
these five steps. If the problem persists after you've tried these,
please post back and we'll try some more solutions. Good luck! :-)

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

5. Test the same software on a friends system. If it installs then the
CD (or your hard drive if it's a download) may need servicing.
