To All Cognoscenti, Greetings!

Because of a disk failure I'm having to rebuild my system from scratch.
Having recovered Vista Ultimate from the recovery DVD, I find that I cannot
install some programs that were on my system before. The SETUP.EXE simply
hangs without any error message. Some specifics:

CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 2.40 GHz
HDD capacity 250 GB
Partition C 134 GB
Partition D 93.9 GB
Partition E 4.88 GB

There is plenty of free space in each partition.

Any clues as to possible solutions would be much appreciated.

Further to my message below, one of the installation programs gave the
following error message: "Can't install all files! Please close all running
IrfanView instances (the program being installed) and check your destination
directory for free space and write protection." The only possibility is
write protection. How do I get around it?
