Have you tried defragging your computer?
 
no i haven't and i also forget what that is , quick explanation please...?(and how)
 
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.
