When attempting to insall Office2007,
The setup program quits a few seconds after the
'Setup is preparing files' window comes up on the screen...
Here, it says that that is caused by
"This problem may occur when your operating system file system is damaged,
or you have a problem with your hard disk drive."

And I have tried doing what they told me, but to no avail...
Also, This happens in MS Visual Studio Express; but I got around that by
doing an installing right after installing Windows XP Professional...
