Installer Troubles

When I try to install certain new programs (like Office XP
pro, etc), I get an hourglass for a few seconds...then
nothing.

When I bring up task manager, and look at the running
processes, I find "setup.exe" there, but it has 0% CPU
usage. If I leave my system alone, nothing happens: the
installation does not progress, the computer just sits
there.

Can anyone help me???
 
Hi Peter,

Suggestions:

1. Browse to the appropriate Setup.exe or Install.exe program
2. Right click on the setup program and select "Run As..."
3. Uncheck the box that says protect my computer and data from unauthorized
program activity.

Note: Doing this alters the default protection only for this
operation/setup program... it does NOT disable it permanently.
