Pro Tools installer disc will not launch properly on my system.

[dostacks]

I tried to search for similar issues but most people atleast are able to launch their installation.

Basically I thought this was just Pro Tools not working with Windows 7, so once the the problem occured I went to XP Pro SP3, so I think it must have to do with either some driver or hardware component.

The problem is when I go to launch the set up or auto run, a blank grey window comes up and thats it. I know its not the disc because I tried putting the disc into another computer and a splash window with all the options to install comes up like its supposed to. I have a gut feeling it may be my CPU, but haven't found any KNOWN issue, so its driving me nuts! I have been trying to put this rig together for months and finally thought I had it all, but... not so much. ANY help or suggestions would be amazing!
