I know I should, but I can't be bothered to make an account on there. Anyway, I was just asking if anyone had experienced this problem and how I could solve it.

My advice is, if you can start a thread that spans 3 pages here, where at least 1/3 (if not at least half) of the posts were by your own self, it's wiser for you to open an account and ask there, that way you would probably get your solution faster.

My advice is to listen to what people are saying, instead of repeating your problem.

RE. The mIRC thing, I can udnerstand why you are being led to think it is a virus, Norton monitors things called "ports" that your computer uses to connect to the internet, make FTP transfers among other things, included the actions necessary for mIRC to function. Apparently, mIRC uses a port that norton does not think it should be using, it is not putting your computer in danger, norton is merely assuming it is because of the extraneous port activity.

I doubt that will penetrate into you concioussness, but I hope it might lead to you posting a bit less about this mIRC thing. Maybe it will lead to you posting less overall. Unlikely.

the fact that you are using Norton in the firstplace is where all this sadness and trouble starts.

When I first got my brand new windows XP computer and it came with norton i was fucked with virii and bullshit warnings from Norton from day one. It doesnt protect for shit compared to say...AVG-Antivirus/AVG-Antispy. Get those. They are FREEEEEEEEEEEE forever and ever, updates DAILY. More than Norton even.

get them at their completely safe homepage where no virii reside.

[Tuomas]

what strikes me is, that, yes, Norton in my experience is plain crap, but when you write like you did above MarVelo, do you think anyone will listen to you seriously, especially when you write, and I quote

i was fucked with virii and bullshit warnings...
doesnt protect for shit...
They are FREEEEEEEEEEEE...

Sorry, but if I didn't know better, I wouldn't change after reading this. And this is a common issue, if you want someon to change, (and I recommend you do, Adam, whatever your nick is now), make them have a reason to believe you.

Your computer is b0rked.

Something, most likely Norton, seems to be corrupting rar files before the download finishes. Although how or why this would happen is beyond me.

Maybe the entry in your registry for rar files could be corrupted, causing comflicts when you try to open one...Christ! It could be anything.

You seem to be set against downloading programs that could (possibly) fix the program, or possibly your parents have your access to your PC restricted to a non-administrative account.

I offer your this solution:

1. Download CCleaner

2. Install and run it.

3. Click on the button that says "Run Cleaner" (it's down in the lower right hand corner).

4. This will clean all temporary directories and files in windows and various other programs.

5. In the menu on the left hand side of the window, click on the button that says "Issues", then on the button "Scan for issues" that appears at the bottom of the screen. This will check your registry for corrupt entries. If it finds any, click on the button labelled "Fix selected issues..." Thiswill repair these entries.

Whether or not this will have any affect on your problem is anybody's guess. It seems like you PC is bloated with various conflicting processes, and any further advice I could give you could result in serious repercussions with the stability of your system.

Or download the zip file of the game at

Am I going to have to say this again in 3 pages time?

[LGM]

I think he's saying that he can't run .EXE.

In other words, his computer is broke and his thumbsucking skills aren't advanced enough to fix it.

[voh]

Or we could just let this rest until he responds.

Really, bashing the 12-yo is getting old.

[Meowster]

Haha.. it was being left to rest until you replied... LGM's reply was days ago...

The 12 year old is the only thing getting boring here, I wish people would stop getting all huffy about the fact people don't like assholes... yes if an asshole is being allowed to roam free, people are going to get annoyed about it... the only people that could POSSIBLY want someone like TVD on these forums are paedophiles... yum yum come here little child sit on my lap give santa a kiss...

[Helm]

If you can't run .exes and unzip stuff you either have a severily corrupted due to viruses computer, or you have a motherboard fault or something of the kind.

[Medical Waste]

Yes I did download it, but when I do download the document it appears as a broken document, and it tells me to load the document with a different program or find it manually.

At that point, have you tried actually manually finding and selecting winRAR to open the file?

[voh]

Since it seems I read the date wrong, and the topic starter's said he won't be posting on the forum in a while, why not lock this? It's turning into a merry go round of the same advice, and the one we're supposed to help isn't here at the moment, so yeah.

Just a suggestion.
