Install Shield and "safe mode"

[Guest]

Hi, when I install some software from disc it will open install-shield and install nearly all the program up until the end when I get and error message stating that install shield could not complete installation as the computer may be running in safe-mode, (which I know it is not), how to I change or work aroung this??
Please advise
