Some files I cannot dlete with my XP+sp2. I get this massage:
"Cannnot delet [file or folder}: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"
What should I do?
Thanks

Doesn't sound to ogood. Try running scandisk on your PC. It sounds like there may be some bad sectors on your hard drive.

Hi,
You also need to run the Disk Cleanup utility once in a while.
If this isn't run, then the temp folders become very, very large, and can sometimes hinder programs running correctly, or downloads not downloading.
The temp folders need to be cleaned out once in a while.
Best wishes,
fredg
