761833 2009-04-02 19:35:00 What causes an application to hang?

I ask because in the last week I have tried to install both NWN and Morrowind onto a computer (from genuine discs) that has subsequently errored out. Event viewer just says that the application was hanging.
I did a bit of reading into NWN and it said I would need to run the latest patch. Did that, and it still errored out :annoyed:

Have the latest drivers for the graphics chipset, and installed latest DirectX. All chipset drivers are installed

Need for Speed Most Wanted, and Unreal Tournament however have installed and run correctly
