This can occur if any of the following conditions exists:

An invalid Temp folder is set using the Set Temp statement in the Autoexec.bat file.
There is insufficient space on the hard disk.
Hidden files with the .tmp extension are present in the Windows\Temp folder.
Early versions of Norton Utilities, MSWheel.exe, or Pointer32.exe files are currently running.

How much free space is left on C: ? You want at least 10 gigs free at
all times.

No matter how many times you post that here, it's still nonsense. There is
no such rule.Many people run Windows XP quite successfully on a computer
with a hard drive with a *total* size of 10GB. My wife did, for example,
until very recently.

Because she didn't have at least 10 gigs free.

Because what????

Are you saying that the "until very recently" is because she didn't have
10GB free?

That's utter nonsense. The reason she now has 80GB is that I got a new
computer and gave her my old one. The older one, with a total of 10GB was
adequate for her needs and her new one (my old more) is mor ethan adequate
for what she does. But if I'm going to give away or junk an old machine,
I'll make it the older smaller one, not the bigger newer one.

I ran my first version of Windows XP on an 8 GB hard drive (I was not into multimedia at
the time). That 8 GB drive was sufficient for XP, Office Professional, some graphics
software, some games, and my Internet needs. As for the original poster's problem. If it
is correct that there is sufficient free space on the drive, I would suspect that there
might be corruption, or maybe the program that is being installed has a bug and the fix
can be found at the software maker's web site, or maybe the software is not XP SP(whatever
the version the poster is using) compatible, or maybe there is spyware/adware/malware
messing things up. Since the name of the software and its version have not been posted,
it would be difficult to pinpoint exactly what the problem is. For all we know the poster
might be trying to install a very old DOS program which is not compatible with the Windows
XP. Before assuming that the problem is with the system, I would do tech support with the
maker of the software, either by web page support or telephone. Why risk trashing your
system if the software maker might have a simple solution for a known problem?
