    Can't install games

    HAI!!

    I just updated my windows ME to windows XP and I have a problem, when I have windows ME I can install games but now I just updated my computer to windows XP and I can't install all games anymore. When I install a game its stop at the middle and it says "installation cannot complete". What happen? I really want to play The Sims 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 that I got for Christmas.

    And thanks! ^_^

    What is the exact error that you get?
    Does no game install?
    What are the specs on the PC you want to play the games on?
    Do you have all the necessary drivers installed for the hardware?

    As far as getting your system specs. If it is a brand name: Dell, HP, E-Machine, ect just get us the model number or there may be a label on the computer that says what processor and how much it has.

    The other option is to open the start menu and right mouse click my computer and left click on properties. On the new window it should atleast tell you how much RAM and the processor there is in the computer.
