I am having trouble installing software on WinXP
I have a dimenson 4400 with windows xp and am having trouble installing other software. I have used compatibility mode and it hasn't worked once. I know that one program installed and works on my husband's pc that is using win xp upgrade but it won't do anything but freeze up when I try to install it on mine. If I can't install any software, what is the use of having a computer? Any ideas?

I just wanted to say thank you for replying. I tried your suggestion and couldn't find any updates that I thought would affect it this way. I did get it fixed however. I just reinstalled windows. Now all my software goes in just fine. It was worth the trouble though to play The Sims again. Thanks alot.

Go to

Download and open cnet catch up utility then scan your computer for software updates. Then you will see the results then click find updates.
Download and install anyfiles from there but if you see windows installer download and install that update first
