Philip Adams	Posted - 2006.04.01 22:06:00 - [1] Edited by: Philip Adams on 01/04/2006 22:09:05 I downloaded again EVE from that website to put in on my other machine. As soon as I start its setup I receive the following message (I have no antivirus) : The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus. You may contact the author of this to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED). I download the file twice (every time same error).
Maximus Epeenus	Posted - 2006.04.02 00:33:00 - [2] Nah not a virus, if you are on 56k this happens alot, basically when you are downloading you can miss a bit.
Philip Adams	Posted - 2006.04.02 16:59:00 - [3] I have a cable connection. I smell something fishy about that patch they created... I don't think they tested enough before they make it public. HELLO CCP EVE DEVELOPERS YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM !!! OUR SYSTEMS CRASHES, THE GAME IS QUITing TO DESKTOP - NO WARNINGS NO NOTHING...
Corunna ElMan	Posted - 2006.04.02 18:02:00 - [4] Hey, guess what? Thousands of people are playing it just fine! Ever stop to consider that the "big problem" might be on your end? I'm not here to win any popularity contests. I couldn't care less what you think of me - all that matters is this: Can you defend your opinions?
Fark	Posted - 2006.04.02 20:42:00 - [5] sounds like a problem with the computer, not eve(ccp) Is your HD running ok? have you done any error checks lately?
Philip Adams	Posted - 2006.04.03 04:15:00 - [6] My comp is running OK ;) thanks... except with EVE. And is not heating up to much for a laptop (let's say 30~40 C / 104 Farenheit)...

I had this problem as well last year and yes i did have a antivirus program on the pc (avg) it is not the download it the machine the only way i could fix it was with A:\format c old school i know but windows on that pc was i bit past its best befor date (3 months) when you format it and you will be why not put a "windows" eve partition on just 3-4 Gig will do it run 2 os's (the one with eve has to be windows) on it one just for eve and may be Team speak and one partition for all the naff stuff you download you may even thing about running linx on.

Awwww... c'mon don't roast me like that Corunna.. tell me tell me.. what i'm dying here /me slaps myself bad troll I suggest YOU get a antivirus software pronto, and please tell me you have a spy/malware remover, Philip?
Kilosher Silgen	Posted - 2006.04.03 09:20:00 - [10] I hope you also have a firewall as well...
Olleybear	Posted - 2006.04.04 00:02:00 - [11] I too have had this happen. And no it is not a virus, nor is it the eve execeutable your downloading. I have also had other programs I download become corrupt after dl. I think I may know why, but need to ge a little more more information from you. I am using a SY-K8USA Dragon Ultra Black motherboard from Soyo along with its built in SATA controller and a Seagate SATA harddrive. I am extremly curious to know if you are using the same board and perhaps even the same manufacturer for your harddrive. This is with the windows XP operating system installed. Also, I did not have a problem while using windows 2000 with this setup. So even if your motherboard and/or harddrive aren't the same as mine, I will make a leap and say its our 'version' of windows XP we are using. And I hope you understand me without my having to say what I mean when I say 'version' of windows XP... So the fix, if I am right, would be to 'find' another 'version' of windows XP.

I have had tis happen on other things.and it culd be cosed by a few things 1. get an antivirus avg has a good free one Linkage and get a good spy ware remover cus if you serf the net at all you have stuff you dont want on your pc trust me I know 2. try DL it at a non-peak time when the net is not to busy. 3. DL it to a difeant folder on your Hard Drive or another hard drive all together. (culd have a bad secter on your HD) and dont forget to delet the corupted on not just save over it 4.see if you can find it on a difeant server I am shure you culd find it on one site or another or on one of the legitimate P2P sites NOT one of the ones that you get the illagal stuff from hope this helps Originally by: Olleybear Also, I did not have a problem while using windows 2000 with this setup.

So the fix, if I am right, would be to 'find' another 'version' of windows XP. you can some times have a bad install of XP I work on PC all the time. some times xp just gets all out of wack on the install. it will seem to work fine for a while then you find out that something is messed up. its kinda messed up but then agen windows is just one big virus

So the fix, if I am right, would be to 'find' another 'version' of windows XP. That would fall under "serves you right", IMO. Folks using that "version" are the reason my job got sent to another country. I'm not here to win any popularity contests.

Drizit	Posted - 2006.04.04 03:43:00 - [14] If you use a downloader like getright, sometimes it misses a vital bit between chunks. It's a known bug with all of them, most likely the way Windoze handles putting files back together since it can happen to any of them, and the only way to solve it is a re-install of the downloader. I had exactly the same problem with Gozilla, Getright and another one (can't recall the name). A re-install solved it every time. --
