Just got a Brand New P4 1.6a w/ an MSI Ultra 645 MB. i have 2 256 mb of Corsair 2400 Ram in it. Maxtor 30 GB 7200 RPM HD, DVD player Geforce MX card in it and that's it.

basic system, but weird thing is whenever i try to install winzip 8.1 it freezes on me. i'm not sure what it is.

anyone experience anything like this? i dl'd winzip the .exe file. a compressed file, when i go to install it stalls then it freezes. mouse can move pointer but thats it, no ctr alt del, no nothing, keyboard lock. so i do cold reboot. this is at stock intel speed.

anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Any overclocks or aggressive BIOS tweaks?
Do you have the latest BIOS and chipset drivers for system?
Is your power supply giving your system enough juice?

Have you tried re-downloading it? It could just be a corrupted download. I'd try that first.

It wasn't anything weird or cool or anything like that. it was just the stupid NVidia Reference drivers. :( apparently the Leadtek doesn't like the NVidia drivers.
