Since a while I can not install programs from CD.
I try to figure our what can be the reason.
The o,ly thing I see is the mesage I get when I shut of
the computer at the end opf the day.
Message: wowexec : when I try to end the program I have a
message windows XP( professional) will be probably
instable when I shut down WOWEXEC.
What can i do??

IFAIK wowexec is part of Norton Cleansweep. So if that is corrupt I guess
you will run into problems with installs. Either uninstall Cleansweep
altogether or try a repair/reinstall. I tried Cleansweep for a couple of
days when I was rebuilding my machine and it failed to rollback a modem
install successfully so I chucked it. Much better to Ghost the system drive
and restore from a known good backup IMHO.
