Not really, but a fresh defrag of the hard drive followed by a fresh
install wouldn't hurt.
That is if you haven't done that already. 8^(

Could be also that the file is copied into a bad sector of your disk.
Scan disk my detect it. 

My brother was getting corrupted file errors when playing D2 and was
able to correct a lot of other problems by disabling Direct Draw on his
video card. 

Programs - Accessories - System Tools? - System Information. Go to Tools
DirectX diagnostic. Tab "Display". Run the test and see if there are any
problems. 

I know it says "corrupt file" but funny things happen in windows and
somethings overlap. 
Like I said my brother's computer hard drive was working perfectly, but
it was a video related problem that caused all sorts of other conflicts
and errors/crashes.
