Help! I have reinstalled Vista OEM on the same machine, but now I am having problems installing software. It is not allowing me to install Office 07 - it says Office Source Engine has encountered an error. it is not allowing me to install SP1 - it says stub has stopped working. It is not allowing me to install virtual DVD drive - it says internal error. I have not added any new hardware. Although Vista did used to be installed on a different drive. I have totally removed that drive. And I have reformatted the current drive. I have even used a friends disc. This is the 4th time I have installed Vista now. It seems to be hit and miss what installs. I have used various sources as well, but all do the same. My copy of Vista has been validated and is activated.

I hope it works, I am doing it now. Although I cannot understand why Office would not install.

PC overclocked?
Hi Everyone. Thanks for the replies. It turns out that the some of the programs on my hard drive was corrupted. I backup that drive to an external drive and dvd. Hence the reason that all my other sources were corrupt also. I used the original office disk and that installed fine. I downloaded another copy of virtual dvd drive and that installed fine. I downloaded another copy of SP1 and that installed fine.
What is worrying though is that my 500gb drive is corrupting data and Windows is not picking it up. I cannot trust that drive now. Oh well.
