Download Won't Open

Hi,

Today I discovered I had a problem with my computer. It is Windows
XP(Home) SP2, with plenty of HHD space and my RAM is maxed out, 1.5GB.

The project I am trying to accomplish is - I have Acronis True Image 9.0
on disk and it is Bootable. The program has an update and I wanted to
combine the program with its update and burn it to another disk that
would be Bootable. I was trying to accomplish this with a burning suite
named Ashampoo 7 without success (Making Coasters). After contacting
Acronis support they suggested another program (http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/)
to extract the boot image from version 9.0 to make the new combined CD
bootable. That is when I discovered the suggested download would not
open/install. I downloaded the program, unzipped it with WinZip and
double clicked it to install. An info screen popp'd up asking if I
wanted to run the program, I clicked yes, there was a quick black flash
of a dos box, then nothing. I tried to open some other zipped programs
I had previously downloaded and some did and others did not
open/install. I could not determine if those failing were due to
already being installed. Those failing did give the quick black flash
of a dos box, then nothing.

Has anyone else at sometime or another found this behavior when
attempting to install a download?

Any pointers to things to check would be appreciated. Once I post this I
will run SFC /SCANNOW.

Thanks again.
