Every time I download the 93.xx drivers for my 7600GT from nvidia.com the installer says that the .exe is corrupt and can not continue. At first I thought that the one I had on my hard drive was just corrupt. However, when I re-downloaded the installer, it was once again corrupt. I downloaded it to a different drive...still corrupt...wtf, HELP!
 
are you using the piece-of-shit forceware firewall thing that comes with the nvidia mobo drivers? If you are, get rid of it as it loves to cause corrupted downloads. And disabling the firewall won't make it stop, you have to uninstall it.

If that's not it, then maybe the mirror has a bad copy of the file on it? Maybe try downloading from another mirror (guru3d, for example, tends to have like every video driver version ever made, all on multiple mirrors)
 
I tried every mirror on the Nvidia website and still nothing.

I did have that stupid firewall running, realized it was crap and got rid of it. I don't really need a firewall anyway
 
Ok, well I thought maybe it was my XP install so I re-installed windows and when I install the drivers. The install goes perfectly fine, then I reboot...but still no drivers...what the hell?
 
Scratch that, problem solved...not sure what I did, but it just decided to install. Thanks for your help anyway.

Firewall software and anti-virus software are one of the top causes for computer problems.
