SG,
I've tried 5 different disks, same results. The 2 that I'm trying to install are SimCity 3000 and Quicken 2006. Bob SG wrote: You said: It seems that all .exe files are blocked from being copied or run off of the CD. What CD is it and have you tried running any other CD to see if they work? All the best, -- George Aker aka SG Google is your friend www.google.com Anything else is just a search engine "loneieagle" wrote in message oups.com... Thanks for the reply Ron. I installed poledit, but when I ran it, there are no policies set up. I tried totally uninstalling Norton, that did not help either. I'm at a loss as to where this restriction is coming from. |

Thanks PattyL,
I've tried that. There isn't much in either Autoexec.bat or config.sys. I even went so far as to disable nearly everything in win.exe so only explorer was running. Same results. Bob |
