After a new install, I put in OfficeXP and video and sound drivers then tried installing SP2. It would reboot halfway through it. It let me do the standard updates OK, though. Then I tried Photoshop 7 and it did the same thing(rebooted) and told me to run chkdsk. I did and it fixed corrupt areas on the disk. Then I was able to install Photoshop. I just tried Adobe Acrobat 6 and it rebooted again. This time no indication of corrupt areas on the disk. It's a fairly new (1 to 1.5 yrs old) Seagate 40gig Barracuda. I just reformatted it and added an 80gig Barracuda as an extra drive.

Unsupported drivers or a virus/worm.
Look at your event viewer and dump logs for further clues.

I've installed the same version a couple times before after reformatting and stuff. Of course, Microsoft's database has no info about some of the certain errors.
