soundblaster live, liveware 2.0 installation freeze

[archangelm]

When I try to update my liveware to 2.0, I run the setup program and then the computer locks up and i cant move the mouse. I just wonder if anyone knows what the problem is.

did you try waiting real long, like 15 minutes?

I waited a couple minutes, then hit Ctrl+alt+del and it showed that a couple of programs were not responding.

I had same prob,it was Nortons Anti-virus conficting.Run msconfig.exe(in Windows\system) and hit the start-up tab.Then dissable any antivirus programs you may have.Dont forget to check Windows start-up in the program start menu.

GOOD LUCK!

Ok, I'll try it thanks.

Hey, I couldn't find that file msconfig.exe you were talking about. It wasn't in that directory and couldn't be found during a search.

Which version of Windows are you running....the program MSCONFIG is a Win98 program. you can download a program called "startup cop" from ZDnet http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=000YKL that will allow you to control what programs startup when powering up your system (from all locations such as "startup folder" "autoexec" "winINI" ect)

Good luck http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
