Slow installation of Office 2003.

M

Mike

I'm trying to install Office 2003 on a Dell Dimension 4600c workstation with Windows XP Pro SP1 but can't get through the installation. I've disabled the auto protect on Norton Antivirus 2004 & Norton Internet Security 2004. I've even gone as far as disabling the Norton Antivirus service, the SAVScan service but still goes very slow. Is there another service or program I'm missing to give this install a good swift "kick"?

Try cleaning out disk space, including whatever's in your Windows\temp
folder. Any luck?

There is tons of free disk space, its a brand new 80 gig drive. I could clean out the temp files, I'll try it tonight I think there is another program running in the background that is slowing it down, I jush wish I could figure out which.

I turned my computer on, it slowed down to a crawl almost so I did the Last Known good configuration, deleted my profile and created a new one, ran Checkdisk then Disk Defragmenter and it still installs very slowly. I might have to try another cd but I'll try it on another computer first.
