Have you tried loading this device as a different user on the computer?

Not sure what you mean by "different" user as I'm the only one that has used this machine since purchasing it and reloading system software then (about three years ago).


Go to System Preferences> Accounts. create a test user, making them an Administrator. Log of, then on as the new user, and try installing the software as the new user.

This is an elementary step in determining if an issue resides in the system side of things (if the new user has the same problems, it's a system or hardware issue, if not it's a prefs or other local file issue with the old user.)

On every Mac I set up, i ALWAYS set up an Emergency account with a simple (to me) password for just this type of testing. A couple of times it has saved me a lot of time trouble shooting.
