    setup cd not loading???

    happy holidays to all............

    purchased an alfa wireless network adapter

    get the following message when the cd loads:
    'windows can not access specified director, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access item".

    the same disc works fine in my other computers???

    what is going on and how can i cure the issue?..need to be able to load and run this setup cd for the hardware to work!!

    thanx.

    Browse the cd, r-click and select Run as administrator.
    Should install now.

    ok now

    the only cure was a complete reinstall of win xp...thuis time: the install took 1 1/4 hours...the last took only 35 minutes....suspect last omitted many key files which caused the problem.
