with installing software packages. To enable verbose logging apply this

Windows Installer will store the logs in the TEMP directory. The filename is
random, but begins with the letters "Msi" and end with a .log extension.

Hey thanks for the reply!

I'm not sure if I'm logged in on an administor account. I'm currently using a home computer and I've installed a radeon 8500 (on this computer with this account) before without any problems.

Also, I'm not exactly sure how to follow the directions in the quote you provided.

The first thing it says to do is to go to start/go and then it says to type some things. But then what's after that? How does the window installer fix relate to that? Ah sorry I'm having a hard time understanding the directions.

One more things.

I found that this person had a similar problem to my problem, but his solution was "sorta reformatting" the computer? What does that mean? Oh I really hope I'm not forced to reformat my computer!

Anyway thanks so much in advance for any help you provide!
