    Default Trying to install software and got this mssage?

    Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder.

    I definitely have enough space on my computer but donut know what the hell is up about the write privileges.

    Assuming you are using XP, are you logged in as the administrator?

    If you aren't logged in as administrator, when running a program from an icon or similar, if you hold shift and then right click, it will have an option in the menu to "run as", clcik that and you can run it as an administrator.

    Hope this helps.

    Im the only account that is on the computer. For some reason it only works if I try installing it on the desktop but then it tells me to please put in the cd. Do you know of a program that will turn some files into an iso.

    Have you tried ImgBurn? Seems like I had good luck with in the past.

    I checked out your photography, pretty impressive stuff.

    About your software problem. It sounds like it could be a disk read error or something simple. It doesn't make any sense that it's not installing normally. My only 2 cents is that I wouldn't overthink it. I think the CD is scratched and your not getting a good read.

    if your using XP, when you at the logon screen, Pres
    "Ctrl+Alt+Del" three times, this brings up the classic logon screen, now login as:
    "Administrator" and attempt to install the software again, if it fails then commando is prob correct in the install file is damaged

    I tried the Ctrl+Alt+Del but it didn't work. The only thing it did was extract the files into a folder under C: Programs but doesn't fully install, so I went under the install file under programs and it asked me to put the cd in so im trying to make an iso file ten mount it to Alcohol 120%.

    Oh BTW thanks for my profile comment.

    How would I convert a setup file to iso?

    What you'd probably want to do is copy the entire CD to an .ISO and save it to your computer, and mount it with a CD mounting program like Daemon Tools. Probably the easiest way IMO. I've never used Alcohol, and I have MagicISO but haven't played with it much, so I can't help you there.

    And BTW, I like your DA gallery too. Very nice pics. If you don't mind me asking, how do you get them to sell prints? Do you make any money off of what they sell?
