Hi, I have a problem with installing software. I am running windowsXP Pro. I just reformatted and installed windows. Originally my drive was Fat32, but i converted to NTFS, and then installed windowsXP. I used this command: "fromat c: /fs:ntfs", without the quates of course, to format and convert to NTFS. I am all up to date with my critical updates for windows. So as i started reinstalling all my programs, i noticed that I couldn't see the programs install. I would get the first couple of screens that give you the install options for the sofware, but as the install would get going, the install would disappear as if it were minimized, but there was no sign of any windows showing something was being installed. There was nothing in the toolbar or systray to show anyting was minimized. The only thing you could see was that the computer was working by the hard drive light blinking. So you knew something was happening. Even when the install would finish, i didn't always get any notice that the install finished. Couple of times I did get confirmations that the install was done, but other I didn't. I just waited for the hard drive light to stop blinking to guess that the install was done. Now I have just tried to install MS Streets and Trips 2006, and it starts to install as explained above, but in the middle of installing, it just stops installing all together. Anyone have any clue on what might be happening. I've never seen or heard of anything like this. BTW, I am running WinXP Pro as mentioned, as well as 1GB of RAM, Athlon 1.1 Ghz Processor, 400W Power supply. Thanks.
