I keep getting this message when I try to install:

"A system reboot was requested by a previous software installation (e.g. a Windows update). Please reboot your computer to resume the installation of Nero 8."

I tried to uninstall Nero 7, run the Clean Tool, and install Nero 8 but this does not work.

I have tried deleting the values in the registry through "regedit": find Key / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl... Manager / Value: "PendingFileRenameOperations" as recommended by Eric T but this is not working either.

I don't understand what is not working, does anyone have any other suggestions or am I overlooking something that would block installation?

Any help and info is very much appreciated! :)

I basically have 2 problems.

1st the scroll wheel on my mouse won’t work anymore. It worked fine yesterday and this is a new problem. 2nd Internet Explorer isn’t working properly. I have a cable modem and pages load slowly, Netscape and Firefox are also installed, they behave normally. My wife prefers internet explorer and that is where we have all out favorites saved.

I use a licensed copy of Norton antivirus 2004, Norton has found nothing wrong. The subscription doesn't expire until the end of the month. Any help given is greatly appreciated.

They are saying a standard account is better, because the UAC asks permission before you can perform a task, but it does the same thing in an admin account. How is an admin account less secure. UAC is still on admin accounts.

Well, its not just scrolling I am having a problem with, when I click an icon, it will go up to the top. I am running on Windows XP and this happened awhile ago and It would stay and then leave, now the problem is short bursts. I really do not think it is a virus.
*Some more details*
I use both Mozilla and Internet Explorer and both of the browsers do the same thing.
I alternate between mouses. One is an optical mouse and the other is ball. I use the optical a lot yet, the problem occurs the most when I use the optical.
It just scrolls up, not down.

Please help. This problem has been interrupting my animation and gaming.

If I successfully install Windows XP on an external hard drive on one machine, can I hook that external hard drive to another machine and run Windows XP on it from the external drive? Don't ask why I would do that.

These days it's fashionable to put full-screen photo into your PowerPoint presentations. There are loads of creative-commons attribution licenced images on flickr that could be appropriate for this, but what exactly is the correct way of referencing the author? Can you just put text in the slide notes? Exactly what do you need to write?

I tried signing up but it runs very slowly and jerkily, and the Orientation Island doesn't seem very well structured - it was quite difficult to find some of the mandatory tutorials. Is it worth persisting?

Every once in a while, an alert window will pop up like a JavaScript confirmation box. It says that the script running "on this page" might cause my computer to run slowly and do I want to continue running the script.

Thing is - I don't have any web browsers open. There are three other accounts on my computer, only one is logged-in but that other account doesn't have any web browsers open either.

I'm not running an active desktop or anything which runs scripting as far as I know. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't show any programs using more than 2% at a time, and I know all the programs which are running.

This started about a month ago, maybe a bit longer. The new software I've installed is:

OpenOffice
Yahoo Widgets
Yahoo Messenger (which is totally shut down when i'm not using it)

Any ideas? Could it be a trojan? I'm running Norton Internet Security 2007 with the latest updates and they haven't fouind a thing. Could it be spyware? Adware?
