Vista - Help With Installs

I am new to vista from xp and just got a new toshiba laptop. I was trying to install all my old software but I have recently come across a problem that I need some assistance with. When I try to install this software DVD Copy Software from DVDFab | Copy DVD to PSP, DVDR or iPod
it starts the install, confirms that I want to install it and then the screen dims and basically freezes. I go to the task manager and it doesn't list the install on there, but when I cancel out of there it has cleared up. I know that this software works on vista from the manufacturer. This has happened with a few install attempts. I am really frustrated and I am looking for any assistance. Thank you in advance.

Hi shlov1 and welcome to Vista forums!

Your Vista is 32 bit or 64 bit ?

Not sure. How do I tell?

Hold the Windows key down on your keyboard and press the PAUSE key - or go to Control Panel ---> System and Maintenance ---> System and it will tell you there.

Have you tried right clicking on the install exe and choose run as administrator?

Sometimes dvd software requires administrator rights.

I am running 32 bit.
