After changing motherboard and CPU i can`t install many games.Whan i start setup.exe programs i get error messages.I think it is related with c:\Windows\temp folder.After i tried to install a game i checked c:\ disk with Norton Disk Doctor and when it did Directory structure test i got a message that files or folders in c:\windows\temp folder have invalid dates and timestamps.Windows says that all files in c:\ disk are created in 1979 12 31.How to solve my problem ?

Hope you are running Norton 2001. That was a problem with older versions.

Go into windows explorer and remove everything in windows\temp and delete it. Then make sure your clock is ok. You may have to reinstall everything.

I think i can`t install games because i have some problems with c:\windows\temp directory,because sometimes setup.exe programs tell that temporary files,which was created by the instalation programs,are corrupt.

do as tech2 says and delete the contents of c:\windows\temp and any other temp stores.

note: it sometimes payes to delete all temp files before installing such games as some of them do not over write and delete existing temp files.
