Free up more disk space and try again.' I checked and physically have 16 GB of free disk space available. What is all this about? All my other programs run well without any problem. Can any one explain? Cheers Alex	Guest (0)

Is it new program or old one? Could it be struggling with your version of OS or disk format? Can't see how, but it's possible. robo.	Guest (0)

Perhaps it needs to be installed or copied to C drive first (who knows, this might actually happen... just a suggestion)	Guest (0)

30295	2002-01-09 01:31:00	Maybe it was trying to install it on the CD. Copy the CD directory to your desktop and try installing from that copy.	Guest (0)
30296	2002-01-09 03:56:00	Tried. Doesn't work Cheers Alex	Guest (0)
