This is quite a common problem, before Windows XP computers couldn't handle more than 40GBs due to the Fat32 formating, Install a Terabyte harddrive and format it in Fat32, you won't be able to save anything over 4 GBs at a time. When Hardwar tries to install it scans the harddrive and once you reach a certain amount (32,000 KB area?) the numbers turn into negatives. So any harddrive that has over 40GB will return a negative number, giving Hardwar's drive space checker a false negative. That's where this attachment (attached file) comes in, it talks Hardwar's install process to ignore that more or less. Program made by Plagued Mind and Mun. Side Note: Zedo is it uploaded to your site? I could find a link. Attachments:

or... you could just right click on the file and change the compatability mode to win 95...
works on win XP anyway.
I just had to re-install from the cd's as I lost the registry entries.

Comparability mode is how I installed my copy. Then I tweaked the registry to search the install path for the movies and copied them from the CDs to my harddrive. Worked like a charm for me.

Add the compatibility way too, I think Diskspace skip is the only way for Win7

Don't know that one, Did it install before for you correctly? In xp, first install didn't worked with the compatibility mode, I used mun's tool, years later after a format of the disk and xp reinstall compatibility mode worked... same pc, same disk, same os, same file system... |

No, if there was something different it was a video card... if you consider the compatibility mode worked for that.... it becomes weirder than it was... Why would Mun make the skip check utility if compatibility mode was the solution? I guess it didnt work for him either  |

Because compatability mode didn't work at one time. I don't think microsoft emulated old school disk checking methods until SP2... Could be wrong though.

Huh? Wouldn't 98/ME been emulated that way?
