"Winzip Self-Extractor header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer error.
Recently after I installed win98, many problems happen. Most of them are happening on the setup files of many programs.
This is the most common error which i can get when i want to run many setup files downloaded from internet:
"Winzip Self-Extractor header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer error."
So, i tried to download a new version of winzip self-extractor, but the setup itself give me the same error msg.....
why????

MrTerrence,
What do you have in your system? Â Hardware wise? Â Motherboard, processor, ram, Hard drives (how old are they?) etc....Give me as much detail as possible. Â
I have seen problems like this in the past. Â Where the hard drive was going out or too slow to save the data downloaded to the hard drive. Â So when it goes through the save process, it corrupts the file. Â I would also suggest scanning for a virus just in case.
Update your antivirus software and scan....
You can also try a download manager, like Gozilla or Getright. Â See if those programs may help you. Â

File is probably just corrupt. Â If its a shareware program give us the url and some of the other experts can try it.

How come a B grade? Â I suggested using Antivirus, plus using Getright to redownload your files?!
