i installed windows vista home premium full retail 32 bit on my custom built comp. and i installed the driver for the motherboard and when trying to do any windows updates i get errors for some of them. also when installing video card and sound card drivers from the cd or from the website it says that the file is corrupted. any idea what can be wrong, suggestions to change something. or where i can look to see what is wrong.
