I hv such a problem and run short of reformatting and reinstall my windows pro SP2 unless there is a solution out there. Whenever I install a program (take limewire.exe as an example), the installation went on smoothly. When the installation ended, the limewire files in the drive also disappear totally. I tracked that while the installation proceed, the folder limewire and the files are in the limewire folder. once the installation procedure finishes, the folder limewire is deleted automatically. There is no virus detected by AVG 7.0, no pestware checked by adwareSE. I am truly buffled! Has anyone out there found a solution to this problem that can help share your experience?

Try installing something other than Limewire or another P2P sharing program. Say Spybot S&D. Then see what happens. Best guess is that Spybot will install.

thks dalton, wonder if it is the *.msi issue. peachtree accounting 2004 uses isscript - installed and then disappear so is limewire using isscript. netscape 7.2 installed and worked fine. is there a bug fix for isscript issue?

that is a weird one. if chkdsk didn't find any problems, i would consider reloading on this one...any firewall activity?
