Installation errors with no apparent cause...

Two days ago, I had the problem again, and when I tried to run the patch, it said it was corrupt. So I deleted the patch and downloaded it again. Rebooted the PC and when I tried to install it, got the same message. I assumed(yeah, I know) that the program needed to be reinstalled, so I uninstalled BF 1942 and my 1942 mods, then after rebooting, tried to reinstall the game. Corrupt file messages kept popping up. I decided to do a clean install and deleted EA directory. Big mistake, because now I can't install BF 1942, R2R, SW or Vietnam. I keep getting the corrupt file messages. Any files I DL give me corrupt file messages as well, no matter where I DL them from.
This is obviously a computer problum, as I dug out Far Cry and tried to reinstall it, with the same errors. I have a DVD-Rom, a DVD R/W and a CD-Rom, and it doesn't seem to matter which drive I use as I still get the messages. This is driving me nuts, so I have to get it straightened out soon. Does anyone have any ideas???

I uninstalled SP2, cleaned my registry, deleted the files and rebooted. Then I DLed the files and the corrupt file messages still appear. It's really starting to tick me off as this is a recent Windows install and no viruses or adware can be found. I believe the first instance of the problem predated my installing SP2, and I have reinstalled SP2 with no change in the behavior of the error messages...Do You have windows sevice pack 2 installed? I had similiar sounding problems. I had to take it off and all my problems went away.
