Problem installing software on newly built pc

Post by DK » Thu Jan 28, 2010 5:31 pm

Just helped my housemate build a new gaming computer and we've hit a problem. We've got it booting up with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit but have a slight problem installing certain software on it. Tried installing Google Chrome, Itunes64bit and various anti-viruses such as avast, avg and sophos. It is possible to install stuff on it, for example Steam, Firefox and Microsoft Office work perfectly on it. Anyone got any hints?

If needed, these are the specs i can remember:

Mobo: Gigabyte G41M-ES2L
Processor: Pentium E5400

Have to ask him about the rest but he's gone to the pub to drown his sorrows.

Can you explain more about what it does when you try to install? What error does it give you? Are you running the installers as administrator (right-click -> run as administrator)? Is it a retail copy of Windows?

"The computer won't install what's wrong with it" doesn't help us figure the problem out. ;)
