A friend has a new computer with an Athlon 2800xp
processor and WinXP Home Edition pre-installed.
She has problems installing some programs (ie. AVG)where
clicking Setup, Install just flashes on screen and
disappears again.
Also some functions of MS Office don't work, Assistant
just appears and vanishes with a note saying "Re-install
Office" but still the same thing.
I have these programs working fine on a Athlon 2600xp and
WinXP Pro. with no trouble.
Is XP Home not compatible with a fast processor?
Any help please?
 
I would run error checking. Need help? open help and
support and search for "error checking". Then I would run
Disk Defragmenter

I would run virus scan and spyware scan also.
