Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - MD5 of a file is different on different computers?

Hi Jamey,

No modding of the file - I have tried downloading from my website and DVD and CD.. several times.. the results are consistently the same. If there was a random mod in place, it would be different every time. If there was a consistent mod in place, that .rar files wouldn't open without errors. Could this be something to do with 64-bit vs. 32bit operating systems or processors?

Would the split .rar files open if there was any modding? it seems unlikely as there is no error correction included with the rar files.

Am not a basic user, so things like caching are not an issue..

stumped by this one.

Advice appreciated.
