Problems with .iso and .rar files

Hello,

I just bought myself a new Computer and also Windows 7 Home Premium.

I think its great and I wont go back to Vista or Xp, but..

every single .rar/.zip file I download is damaged/corrupted, even after I redownload it and i just cant find out why .. even the .rar recovery programm doesnt help

same problem with .iso files, when I download one and try to use it via daemon tools, it just tells me, that there is no cd in drive


anyone got a solution for this?


oh and i use the 64-bit versions of daemon tools/winrar/7zip as i have a 64-bit system

Try to disable any Download Accelerator and clear the file cache for your browser. That should solve your problems. Also try to save your files to another partition.

I dont use any Accelerator, I only use my Routerfirewall which is enough ( ye, i tried to disable it also )

I tried to download with IE, Firefox and Opera but nothin worked

hi and welcome


are you using a download manager? what browser, what AV firewall?

Try detouring around your router just long enough to try a small download and see what happens/

tried to download a file below 10mb, those work .. but files with 70mb till open end dont work, though i dont dc or anything

here is what i use never had a problem at all with Win 7 32

Symantec End Point
Internetdownload Manager
Ultra ISO
WinRar 3.9

Are those programs specifically designed for W7 x64?

I haven't checked the rest, but WinRar does have an x64 version:

well...i know this is frustrating, but try to do a clean install of Windows 7 32bit. See if that solves the problem. Some applications have compatibility issues with Windows 7 64bit, so i think even you have a 64bit system, it will be better with Windows 7 32bit & 32bit Applications. Hope this helps you:) (correct me if i'm wrong)
