Yep. I tried another program Nikon's Picture Project and it loaded fine from
the CD drive.

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


Have you considered that maybe the CD drive itself is going south? Put a
known well working drive in the computer and see if the software will install
with the good drive.

AFter installing SP3, there are certain programs which I cannot load. Has
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.
