It sounds like the disk itself is damaged or the installation program has trouble starting on your computer. What OS are you running?

Thats very odd. It should work on Win98. Sounds like the disk is damaged but I could be wrong.

The first installation works --if I shut down , the problem occurs when I start up again Then it happens every time. I also tried CBS -it takes me thru the startup logo then it disappears & the desktop icons all turn white --it's weird. the disks are ok I installed in my new machine & they work ok.I did a complete restore on the old one before I tried it ????

Try installing the latest DirectX. Make sure you get the correct one for your OS. You can get it from the Windows Update site.
