glad it is working.
just a final note. if the problem continues to pop up with corrupted hogg files the cause of the corruption will need to be isolated.
some of the things that could be causing this would be
1 some anitvirus program add thier own checksum to downloaded files that can mess compressed files
2. faulty memory
3. bad spot on disk or failing hard drive
4. weak or faulty power supply
5. on vista and win 7 having the program installed in the program files folder.

Fun fact, the game will break pretty frequently if you install to Program Files under Vista or Win7 because of a new security feature called Virtual Store (short version: it intercepts and rewrites file writes inside prog files to go somewhere else). That is why it is no longer the default install location on those platforms. There is no permanent way to disable this feature of Windows, so installing outside of Program Files is the best option. The "correct" place according to MS for this would be C:\ProgramData, but more games use Users\Public\Games that we wanted to go with the clearer one. The More You Know.
