My computer cannot install some software. But the same software can install
on other computers that use the same operating system (Windows XP). Could
you guys help me out?
For anyone to help you, you would need to supply more details. What happens
when you try to install and the install fails? If a message appears, what
is the text of that message?
"Some software" may indicate an issue with specific software packages.
These issues may not be Windows problems but problems with those
applications and will need to be sorted with technical support for those
products.
In general:
Limited accounts cannot install software (some web games/applications might
install but that's it). Power User accounts in XP Pro are allowed to
install software but with some limitations. Once installing from the right
account type (administrator or power user), you may still run into
usability problems when users other than the person that installed the
program are logged on. MVP Rick Rogers has a page to help sort out those
issues:
