Oh, and also ntdvm.exe (another process). When i end this wowexec and setup processes end toghether.
Another thing, wowexec.exe and setup.exe don`t show any Memory usage (it`s blank).

Later edit: Nevermind ... i found out that if I try to start Setup and then try to reboot my PC ... it doesn`t reboot, the setup starts ..........................................


I have exactly the same problem as this however rebooting my computer doesn't solve the problem. I'm currently running XP Pro on a laptop. Please let me know if anyone has a fix for this, I'm desperate to play W2 again!

Tried that, didn't work. still nothing happening after i push the install button when the autoplay window opens. any other ideas?
