hope anybody can help me & thanks

What applications?

What method are you using to install them?

Where are you downloading them from?

How are you downloading them if you cannot use the internet?

It sounds like you need to reinstall the phone's firmware again to clear all of that but I would imagine a complete flash using the flashing tool Nokia provide (which does it via a PC and cable) would be needed here.

I've not done it but this page seems to show how:

I hope that helps

thx for replaying back 1st im downloading them from the application manager in my phone i get into the programs oe games or anything inside this file and i download it and after few minutes it is corrupted it say installation file corrupted while when i download frrom the ovi store it goes normally and it never corrupted so i think it is not a firmware problem or something like that. i hope i make the things clear for you now.

Please give us a name of at least one of the applications that fails.

applications like amsn & voice recorder and most of the downloadable application and games that im downloading from maemo.org the problem is that i can download normally from the store.ovi.com but from outside the ovi i can download nothing because it corrupt suddenly and fail to download

why dont u give a try to reflashing, n then if the problem persists then do mention it here.
