new programs are EXTREMELY slow when installing

[Patrick Glenn]

Recently I have been esperiencing any EXTREMELY annoying problem with my
WIN-XP PC when installing new programs. When I install any new program and
run the SETUP, it takes somtimes upward of 5minutes+ between the time the
install program unzips/extracts any needed files, and the time that it
actually begins the setup process. Sometimes it is so bad that I think the
install had failed and then out of the blue the setup process appears and
continues. The delay always happens between the extract process and the
actual setup process. Nothing else on my PC seems to be having any problems
or ot be running slow.

I have WIN-XP professional, P4 2.4gig, 512mb ram, with 15+gig free on a
60gig.

Have you tried disabling your antivirus program for the installation
process? Scan the downloaded installation file for viruses before disabling
