Problem installing PT LE on XP: small gray screen

[XanderMoser]

I am unable to install PT 8.0 on my desktop. When I insert the disc, the only thing that comes up is a small gray screen with "Welcome to Pro Tools LE" on the title bar. When I insert the disc in my laptop, the correct screen comes up.

I just reinstalled Windows XP 32 bit on my desktop yesterday in an attempt to solve the problem. Reformatted the HD (NTFS) and everything. I installed the drivers for my motherboard, video card, ethernet card, and USB 2.0. The only things I have installed are Quicktime, Flash, and Daemon Tools. Internet Explorer is currently at version 6, so that's not the problem

I attempted to use Daemon Tools to create a disc image of the installer DVD. It came up with a couple bad sectors on the disc, though it said they were recoverable. I will try this again.

The funny thing is, it installed fine on my laptop. However, my laptop is a little bit too slow to run it properly.

Here are my computer stats from PC Wizard:

I did see one other thread with this issue, but nothing was resolved. I am hoping someone else has solved this problem.
