Ok, so I'm trying to fix my parents computer. It did have some major problems for some time, but those were related to a 4 year old, abused Windows XP install. Programs didn't respond, it was slow as a dead turtle and whatnot. You know how bad OS'es are. But then I reinstalled.
And some things just don't work. I cannot install most programs and drivers, the installations just hang when they're at ~50%. And it seems it's random. I've tried to format/reinstall Windows a couple of times, same problem. Windows updates works as normal, but not IE8. I could install Foxit PDF something, but not an antivirus program. It seems entirely random, and the working programs are different each time I format/reinstall.
I don't think I've seen it before. No bluescreens are present and the only error messeges I get are related to failed installations.
The computer have not displayed hardware troubles as such, only general Windows instability.
I have not tried another harddrive or something like that. I don't want it to be hardware, that would be such a hassle.
It's an HP dx2200 (microtower) with the following specs:
Celeron D 2.6 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
80GB SATA
Radeon Xpress 200 chipset with integrated GPU (Radeon 300 I think)
Any input is greatly appreciated!
