I have the same problem , BUT, it still does not work. I have copied the diskto the
HD and tried to run it from C: and also D:( my other HD) I even tried to install
it over the network (wireless) from another computer but to no avail. Some disks
work, others wont. Office wont, Matrix reloaded wont (this is where I am really stuck
because i did have it installed but had to do a format recently and havent been able
to install it on the fresh install f windows) . All I get is a msg saying that te
cab file is corrupt etc, When i try to "unzip " it on my HD i get a "windows naming
before 1998 incompatability" something or other. I would have thought Windows XP
Pro could handle anything since 1998!!!!
Anyway , anybody have any Other suggestins.
Thanks
Gary
