Which Windows version?

Sounds like it might be a permissions problem [although the error message doesn't suggest that]. Win2000 and probably XP can be setup so that only an Administrator can install programs. This would be a typical setting for a school, library or other public computing place where you don't want just anybody able to install or mess with system settings.

Definitely on point with this post, Mike.

What messages do you get when you try to install something?

check to make sure the disk quota is not enable.
to get there right click your Hard drive and go to properties.
