For some reason game installers are hanging up on me now. The FEAR demo had this problem , I open the installer exe and my desktop stops responding and I have to do a hard reboot. I eventually re-dl'd it and the exe opened after a long number of seconds.

Now, I am trying to install the DAoC 14 day trial and the same thing happens. I click the exe, I hear my hard drive spinning and the desktop (or if its in a folder, the folder) becomes non-responsive, and I wait for a long time and nothing happens, again requiring a hard reboot unless I manage to open the task manager through all the lag and kill the installation process which isn't taking any CPU and about 68k of memory. This is very annoying and I am at my wits end. I defragged my HD fully, it did not help. Anyone have any insight?

My specs are:

1GB ram
3.4 ghz
GF6800

It's a dell...
