MY WEIRD PROBLEM!! please help!

Ok, iv had a mjor problem with my computer, leaving me with the opton of reformting my computer, then reinstalling Windos XP, but now for some reason my XP isnt working properly, when i go to doownload things form the net, then install it, the program i am trying to install just dissapears. Certain things i go to run, and they start running, then they just dissapear, this is preventing me form installing the windows update or the MSBLAST patch succefully, cause it will start to install, then dissapear without being installed... this problem is puzzling me... PLEASE HELP ME!! has anyone else, had this problem??

Sometimes formatting is not enough , you have to remove your partition , fdisk , reboot & format again .

Freeware .
WIPE OUT : as the name implies, this utility will absolutely WIPE your hard drive. For those
times when an industrial strength cleaner is needed to remove any pesky files Fdisk may have
left behind. A readme file is included in the zip file. WARNING...WIPE OUT will remove ALL data
from the Hard Drive.

WARNING
The use of WIPEOUT can and will result in the loss of ALL data on your hard drive.

DIRECTIONS

1- Unzip file
2- Copy WIPEOUT to a Win9x/me boot disk
3- Boot with Win9x/me disk
4- At the A:\> type "wipeout c: /nq /np" (no quotes)
/nq = no queries - you will not be asked if you are sure.
/np = no partitions - this will overwrite the MBR

Press Enter .

Now run fdisk to set up partitions .
When done , reboot & format .
