I have tried to install this on an HP Media Centre PC without success.

First I downloaded all of the drivers from the HP site as recommended.

I have the SP 2 pack on CD.

When i install; half way through the process I recieve a dialogie box "

access denied"

 

I have full administrator privileges on my home computer.

 

What am i doing wrong?

    thank you...this does seem to be a very good answer; for sure it convinces me

    that I better not try to do this myself but should engage a professional to

    do it,
