Thank you for your reply.

I am trying to install Quicken 2002 Deluxe, 3D Labs Wildcat VP card drivers,
A bell ringing program called "Abell", Chessmaster 8000.

I tried to load these programs at work and they loaded okay. At work I have
Windows XP Professional with SP3.

I tried to load these programs on another machine here at home, and they had
Windows XP Professional with SP2.

On the machines above, all I had to do was to put the CD into the CD drive
and it would automatically begin to install. Here I had to click on install.
I would see the hour glass pointer for about 30 sec. and the nothing else
happens. Then when I shutdown the machine, I would see the install box
briefly before Windows did an end program routine.

Hope this gives you some insight.

Thank you

anyone else had this problem?


*What* programs? What happens when you try to load them? If you get an
error message, please quote it verbatim.
