Disable your startup applications using MSCONFIG. This will disable any unnecessary background or system tray applications from loading.
Go to Start -> Run. Type "msconfig" (without quotes) then click OK.
Select the Startup tab.
Click the Disable All button.
Click the Apply button, then click the OK button.
Click the Restart button.
To reverse this at the end of installation, go back into MSCONFIG and select Enable All and restart (that can be done once installation is complete).
If you are installing from a physical disc, please try to copy the content of the disc to a folder on your hard drive then install from the hard drive. To do this:
Create a new folder on your Desktop.
Go to Start -> My Computer, then right-click on the Creator installer disc and select Explore.
Select ALL of the files in the installer window and copy to the folder you just created.
To install from the folder, double click the setup.exe file.
If you are installing from downloaded files, please follow the steps below to delete the temporary files then try to reinstall again.
Go to Start -> Run. Type "%temp%" (without quotes) then click OK. The Temp folder will show up.
