SP2: Problems installing programs after installing SP2.

A

Allen

I installed SP2. Now I can't install any other
programs. The normal installation is interupted by
a "setupBD" program that says its installing new
drivers. After its completed, the original program never
gets installed. I've tried installing two programs with
the same results. Repeated attempts to install any
program results in the same problem.

Rule of thumb. Wait several months and read as much about
new service packs before installing them.

SetupBD - perhaps Intel's Setup Base Drivers app. It should run only
once. Apparently it is stuck in the Run sections of the Registry? It
might also appear in msconfig.

I also had this problem on a new Dell 9100. I zipped, archived, and
deleted the c:\drivers folder -- the issue no longer occurs and
installations run fine.

Note that just renaming of moving the drivers\ folder does not solve
the problem -- it must be deleted and/or zipped.
