I recently restore my windows xp operating system because I had viruses on my
computer.

I have a Dell xps 410 and im using windows xp media center.

After i reinstalled my operating system i cant install some software that
use to work fine before i reinstalled my windows i have downloaded all the
windows updates.

When i try to install some software i get a access violation error.

when im logged in in safe mode as the administrator and i try to open a file
i put in the shared folder with my user account i get access denied error.
Why do i get access denied when im logged in as administrator? I don't
understand that at all.
Before i reinstalled windows everything worked fine but now i cant install
some software and im getting access denied errors.

i got Kaspersky and it say i don't have any viruses and iv ran reg mechanic
and regcure both of which found errors and fixed them but the problems still
remain.

can anyone please help me with this?

Rick123,
1. After you installed Windows, did you also install all the Dell drivers,
that should be on a separate CD, or available from Dell's website?
2. Right click the "Shared" folder, and make sure that it is set to be
shared.
3. If step#2 does not work for you, then try creating a folder on the C:\
drive, and copy/paste the files that you have in your "Shared" folder, to
the new one, and try accessing them from there.
4. What programs are you having problems installing from the "Shared"
folder?
