Installing a new Program on my computer

In summary, a user is having trouble installing a Texas Instrument graphing calculator program on their computer. They receive an error message stating that the driver file cannot be copied to their Windows directory, potentially due to a full disk. They are unsure of what to do and ask for help. Another user suggests trying to defrag the computer and gives instructions on how to install the program as an administrator if that doesn't work. The original user successfully installs the program but is having trouble figuring out how to use it. They ask for guidance and the conversation shifts to discussing different TI programs and the compatibility of the program with Windows XP. One user suggests typing in "reformat c:\\" as a potential solution to any computer problems.

Log onto your computer as an administrator and try to install it. If it still doesn't work, copy over Xobglu16.dll and Xobglu32.dll from the CD to your Windows folder and right-click each, click Properties, and change them both to read-only. After that, try installing the program again.

Typing in something like "reformat c:\\" should fix most any problem you have.
