PC freezes when trying to install older games
Hi all...I just tried reloading a few older games (Doom 3, Return to Castle Wofenstien, and Quake 4), and every one of them froze my computer up during install. I have had these games on this very system before, so I'm really not sure what is up.

My pc is a Dell I9400 Core Duo, XP, 2GB Ram.

The only issue I may have, is that I have AnyDVD/Clone DVD Mobile on this pc too. I have read online that some copy protection on software doesn't like to find these programs on the pc. I don't leave either of those programs running, so they shouldn't be an issue should they?

Including my Hijack log for your review. Thanks.
