Hi. First of all: Sorry my bad english.. try to handle it :) I was wondering that why some Setup.exe files won't execute. When i doubleclick on a setup.exe file, my xp throws out an error message which says something like "C:\setup\setup.exe not found. Check the path and filename blaahblaah". For example, this problem occurs when trying to install Half-Life from a cd. (which worked in my friend's computer.. he has xp too..)
So i lost my nerves and because of that i now have another problem too.. i installed my friend's xp to my computer and now i have two xp's. The one i installed recently worked fine with half-life, but after 2 minutes of using, the system gives 1 minute to save unsaved works in progress and then reboots automatically..
