I am trying to load a cd onto my lap top to no avail, I can load it onto my daughters with no problem, we both have the same operating system, WINDOWS XP, HOME ADDITION, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 2.

I have loaded the cd onto my lap top before with no probs, below is what keeps coming up on the screen

SETUP REQUIRES A DIFFERENT VERSION OF WINDOWS

CHECK TO MAKESURE THAT YOU ARE RUNNING SETUP ON THE WINDOWS PLATFORM FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED.

ERROR 102

I cannot understand it, I have loaded the cd before and it goes onto my daughters with no probs.

Would anyone have any idea what the problem could be,

i have no idea what the problem could be, but if i get problems loading things that worked previously, i run my de-frag programs and stuff just incase files have misplaced themselves

What sort of application is it you're trying to install?

[macca]

Could try turning off anti-virus software before installing.  :-/

Hi,
Possibly something in the registry stopping you to make the installation..

Did you installed all the patches from microsoft site...

Step 1 Compare the patches installed with your daughters pc and yours..

Second ..
Some laptops come with special sofware on it..

The most easy solution will be backing up the important files,
preparing necessary drivers (vga,ethernet,usb etc)  for the laptop  and format the system...

And install from scratch with OEM standard XP and if possible use XP proffessional..

I've seen too many laptops that comes bundled with limited version operating systems..This may be the reason..

..but as said, what is the software you are trying to load from the CD?

Honestly,

I would get rid of xp and put vista on.

Never had a problem installing anything. Try and system restore a few days to see if that helps. If not , uninstall the latest  thing you have installed and see if it is that. I had the same problem ages ago on my desktop pc and it turned out to be a dll file corrupt

Vista  

They've only just got XP working FFS!  

[omegalord]

Naaaa.... Vista is the way forward. Yes its memory hungry and is a bit of a different layout , but for how cheap ram is at the moment , i would definitely go vista. I am yet to find a program that doesnt work (has compatibility mode as xp does) and is so much of a cleaner install. Doesnt have the major security flaws that xp does , and still does even after service pack 2 and the updates.

Mostly laptops used today are not in the league of vista hardware requirements..

Easy and guarantee solution (although will be time consuming) is installing the operating system with a clean registry.. (if possible proffesional edition)

I think i will disagree on that one. I would say MOST laptops are more than enough to run vista. My brother runs vista on his celeron powered laptop with 512mb ram and it runs faultlessly.

Several possibilities:

Installshield (or whatever installer is being used), could have corruption...

There could be hanging rubbish from previous installs... try in the first instance emptying both temp folders:
(from start menu, select 'run' , and type)
%SystemRoot%\temp
and again:
%temp%

It will likely complain that some files can't be deleted as they are in use - just kill as much as you can.

What app are you trying to install - it's possible that a windows or virus update has done something to make the system incompatible with the installer - there may be an update or fix on the producer's website.
