Cant install any software!

With windows XP on my new machine I cant install any software. I used the secondary hard drive from my old machine as the main hd in this new one... would that have anything to do with it??


I get error 1926 if that helps...

are set to administrator and can u view and store files on your old systems drive?

for the admin thing go to start, control panel, then user accounts then click on your name and then click change account type to computer administrator

Did you switch the jumpers to make it master instead of slave when you changed it out? I'm assuming you did. Otherwise I would think you'd have had other startup issues.

I would be more inclined to think that it's more towards the CD driver's. Did you install any necessary drivers for you CD-ROM device? That seems the most logical reason why you can't install new software.

Or maybe not. I just did some reading on that error and maybe it is a permissions thing.

Just some ideas to play with I guess, since I'm just "guessing" myself at the moment.
