Below are the specs of my system...everytime I put in the SW cd to install, it won't install. I basically click on "install" when the screen comes up, then the screen dissappears for about a minute...then my system locks up.
Any suggestions ?

Do you get a blue screen. If so what does it say?
Have you run SiSoft Sandra to make sure everything is alright with the system?
Have other applications installed OK? If so, maybe your SolidWorks disc is damaged. Have you tried cleaning it?

Do you have DEP Prevention turned on?
Control Panel / System / Advanced / Data Execution Prevention
I've noticed some problems with this and manually had to restrict certain programs.
Also do a general check of the system for bad ram etc.

Good Morning,
I am just going to reply to everyone in this post to save time. I will have to check into the DEP Prevention thing...it is set to whatever default would be. I do not have anti-virus software even installed at this point. The disk is fine, no scratches or anything. I don't think that I even installed the nvidia graphics drivers yet...
I do have another CD drive at home, I will toss that thing in and try to install from there. I will also get that SiSoft Sandra thing (although I've never heard of it).
I do not get any errors...it basically locks the system up a few seconds after clicking on "Install Solidworks". Thanks for the help, and I will keep yall posted...
