This is the message I am getting when I try to install a diagnostic program from the floppy dirve. "Uknown error, operation cancelled due to restrictions on this system"
I need to run this program to fix some problems with a computer running windows ME
I have run bug doctor and fixed all the errors it found but I want to run this other program but cant get it to install and just get that message.
I have installed the program successfully on another computer with ME and it installed just fine.
Any help appreciated

Might help if you told us what program you are trying to install.

I just went to their site and it's a web based installer, not a floppy maker.

Thanks glc. I guess I will have to install it from the website.
I had a copy on one of my comps and copied it to the floppy and it worked okay on another computer but wont install on the one I am having problems with. Will try and install it from the website.

If you did save the .exe, try copying it to the hard drive first instead of trying to install it from the floppy.
