I recently put togehter my pc correctly and have installed all of the drivers except the one for my video card because it gives me errors.
But anything I try to install(from games to adobe reader) will give me some unrelated errors or if it installs will not run(again giving me some unrelated errors)
Plus for some reason I can't connect to an internet connection I know is working!!
HELP!!

"I recently put togehter my pc correctly"
If this were correct you wouldn't have problems. Your selection of components may be an issue.You should not install any additional software before you have the hardware working properly.
Start with the video card. Describe the issues with the drivers and post the make and model of all the components you are using.

MotherBoard: nVIDIA GeForce 6100
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual-Core
RAM: 2 GB Kingston DDR 2
Hard Drive: 320 GB Seagate
CD Drive: Lite On CD-RW & 16x DVD-ROM
Video Card: 512 MB ATI SapphireProblem with video card driver:Setup just repeats over and over.
Problems with games: Either don't open or give me a "send error report" messsage.

Then you have onboard video? Is the version of XP on the install CD at least SP1? I see you have SP2 but is it on the CD?
If onboard video is present you need to set the shared memory in the BIOS as low as possible and set the display to PCIe instead of the default.
Post back about the graphics and install CD.

Some games right out of the box need special service packs. Star Trek Legacy does on some computers.
If you did not install the driver disk for the motherboard, you may not be able to install your Video Card. My ATI Radeon did the same thing.
Another thing you may want to do is to partition your drive. Make C partition 20-50gb then the rest for D partition.
Also, I was having similar problems with my new computer I got for Video editing. It turns out the motherboard is defective.
Some things when I install them it tells me the files are corrupt, I can copy them to the hard drive each time it tells me that. Then it will work but another file will be corrupt. I can eventually install the software but about 2-4 days later it tells me it cannot find my Virus Definitions.
You may want to talk to the manufacturer about getting it replaced.
