| everytime i try to install a new piece of software on my
computer, i fail. i am able to sucessfully run the drive and
view the files, however when i double-click the setup icon i
simple get an hourglass to replace my cursor for a few
seconds before everything goes back to normal. i have also
tried going through the control panel options, add/remove
programs. this doesn't work either. does anybody have any
tips for me out there? anything could help, i am not a
novice at this sort of thing, and being stuck with a problem
like this makes me feel really stupid. thank you again.
