Problem installing large program

[S1L1Y1]

Lately I am having a problem I am trying to install a program file that is
about 500MB and when it gets to about 3/4 way my computer semi freezes,
after 12 hours in was almost finished but I could not wait. I am installing
the program from a CD. I still have at least 6GB left on my hard drive, and
I checked my memory cards and are still good.

Is it possible for you to copy the contents of the CD to somewhere on
your HDD and run it from there?

Thank You for your reply. I can't because it is copy protected.

Re: Problem installing large program

I once tried installing MS Office 2000, a 2-disc installation, which was
taking painfully long to install (it takes long enough when everything's
working optimally!). I found that Nero's InCD was causing the problem.
Perhaps you should end all tasks running in the background so that you have
only explorer and systray running. Might help.
