A "Bad checksum" error indicates that after an update file is download there was a discrepancy between the expected MD5 hash value of that file and the actual MD5 hash value of that downloaded file as received by your system.
There can be several causes for this problem:
- It can because the download of that file timed out and never completed.
--- or ---- That there was a problem with the transmission itself resulting in a corrupted downloaded file.
In either case, change the download server and try again.
Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Thank you - will try another server.
