If I go here and use Major Geeks download site it downloads fine.

I made the ultimate boot cd today but do not know how to use it. I looked for instructions but cannot find anything. Am I suppose to run every line that comes up after I boot with the disk in? Please help me with instructions.
See Post #13--should be under the Drives or Hard Drives heading.
I tried to run ultimate boot disk again. This time I clicked on the HDD, after that I highlighted the Hitachi choice since that is the brand name of my disk. After that, it had a list of more options in which I didn't understand what any of them are so I stopped the program and gave up. This is too advanced for me because I do not know what it is they're asking me to choose. I wish there was something else I can do other than install windows again, which seems that something went wrong when I did it last month. I think if I install it again, I will have the same problem as I know everythng went well during the last install. There were no error messages or anything that went wrong, which is just frustrating to me. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would surely try to do them. :(
Run SFC /SCANNOW. It replaces any missing files and repairs any corrupted ones.
Type CMD in the run box and whack Enter. On the screen that comes up type
SFC /SCANNOW. There's a space between the C and the /.
I already did the scannow yesterday but nothing changed. Thanks for the help.
That hard drive test you did run said the drive was excellent so chances are your drive is ok. I would really run diagnostics on the memory next. Use your UBCD and run "Windows Memory Diagnostic", there shouldn't be ANY errors. Maybe run one of the others too--sometimes one will catch what the other didn't.
I never ran the harddisk test because I don't know what to choose after picking the Hitachi choice on the first page as I described in #20. I simply do not know how to use the disk.....I am still receiving numerous errors daily in the event viewer. There are application error (IE), kernel-event tracing, customer experience improvement program, dns client events, distributedCOM, kernel PnP, service control manage, event log, security-SPP and print service. These errors seem to be the ones constantly being repeated. Does this tell you anything?
In Post # 8 you ran you ran some kind of Hard Drive test and it reported your drive as "Excellent" which is why I mentioned that your drive is probably ok and suggested Post #23.
A memory test from the UBCD might be worthwhile. There is also memory test software available for Windows.

I tried downloading the memory test software you suggested but when I open the web page and click on the link, I received this message: 404 - File or directory not found.
I did find a memory test on my computer and ran that. It reported that it didn't find anything. I can try the UBCD test from the disk I created but hope that I don't run into decisional problems as I do not know what to choose when they give me a long list of choices. I will try this tomorrow as I am short on time tonight. I found a new entry on the event viewer that occurred about an hour ago and listed 7 times. It is called :schannel". It is described as: The following fatal alert was generated: 40. The eternal error state is 107. What is that suppose to mean?
Since you have win 7

OK, I ran the memory test on Windows and it said there were no problems found. Today, when I tried to use my printer, it said that there was no printer found. I went to system restore because it worked yesterday and started to restore at a point from yesterday. I went out for a little while and when I returned, it was still on restoring. After about another hour, I shut the computer down and started it up again. I went back to system restore but now it says there are no restore points on this system. I ran my virus protection and there wasn't anything there, then I ran superantispyware and all that was found was a few tracking cookies, nothing else. My system is becoming more unstable every day. I guess I'm in touble.
