Windows Resets
 

When I try to install a program from CD-Rom in Windows XP Home the
computer simply resets.

Does anyone know how to stop this?

Many Thanks.

Ben.

Are you running any anti-virus software? Also, what program is it that
you're trying to install? If you're running anti-virus software and the
software installation attempts to make certain modifications to your system
such as registry changes, modifying your boot record, etc, your anti-virus
software may attempt to stop it. Depending on its success, it may bring
your system down at the same time. You may want to disable programs such as
anti-virus software or programs like Ad-Aware and then try the install
again. More information would be helpful.

This might help narrow down the problem (or at least give you a BSOD with
info on what jumped off the clip instead of restarting).

Control Panel => System => Advance (Tab)

Startup and Recovery - Settings Button
(Uncheck) Automatically Restart (Under the system failure section)

This should get a BSOD next time instead of a restart.
