'Unknown Publisher' problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just built a new computer and installed Windows XP SP2 with NIS 2007. I've

tried to update Norton, which has been successful as well as the Windows

Updater.

 

However, I've been trying to download and install programs like MSN

Messenger, but the computer says "there is too little disk memory or the

cabinet files are corrupt". I know I've not ran out of disk space (its 320gb

HDD...) and the Cabinet files aren't corrupt either. A full scan with

CCleaner and NIS tells me there are no problems.

 

Also, while trying to download drivers or patches to fix glithes on games,

the downloads are not digitally signed and won't install.

 

Is there any way to stop this?

All hw drivers were installed from CDs supplied with the hw, the windows

updates had to be downloaded from the winupdate and NIS 2007 was updated via

the LiveUpdate function.
