I tried to download onto a dvd to install on my desktop unit and when I tried to run the file the computer said the file was corrupt. I downloaded from my laptop (vista) to install on my desktop (xp)

If the file is corrupted then you need to download again.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Verify that the downloaded file works by starting it with a double click before copying to a DVD or USB stick.
