    As it says in the title.

    I've tried downloading the drivers from the primary download site, and the three mirrors listed on nVidia's site, but each time I get an error when it tries to install:

    The download files can't ALL be corrupt...

    Ok, after clearing all the installer information, and reinstalling the MSI, I get the original error.

    This, I think was the error message I got the first time, I tried. But after the first time, at this point in the install, it said something along the lines of "the files already exist, overwrite?", and afterwards would crash with the error in my first post.

    Well, it didn't seem to be a problem with the installer, as I gave up and reinstalled Windows again today. The driver still won't install.

    Its not the firewall, I never installed that, but I'll try not installing the IDE drivers (yet another reformat... but going back to 1 stick of RAM, 1 hard drive, no external devices... etc... as this install keeps freezing... even when doing nothing!)

    I updated to the 84.21 drivers a month ago no problem; let's hope your trouble isn't catching... :worried:

    Nope, 91.31 WFM. :D

    I downloaded it again, and it worked with a fresh reinstall. *shrugs* Go figure. But I agree fev. Needs to be fixed :p
