saying to put in CD. when I close that window installation stops.
Any ideas?
 
On two recent "house calls" for out computer clug, similar situation. Called
the manufacturer and they asked to have the computer returned.
 
Hi,

Can you export and post the contents of:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe (that's period - exe)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile (no period here)

Click start, type regedit and hit <enter>. Once open, expand the first
branch and click on the .exe key (folder). Click file export and save a copy
to the desktop. Repeat for the exefile key. Now, right click one of the
saved files and choose edit, it should open in notepad. Click edit/select
all/edit/copy, then open a response to this post and click in the message
text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the contents. Repeat for the other key and
send the post for review.
