I just got my M1530 today and have loaded everything I wanted on it so far. The only thing that won't load is Pokerstars. I keep getting a message saying "The installer has encountered a disk write error. Please ensure that all applications are closed before attempting installation. Also, ensure that the destination drive has sufficient space and that you have the necessary access rights." I am logged on as admin and nothing else is running and I definitely have the disk space. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is with this one. It loads fine on my old Inspiron. Thanks for any help!

are you trying to install from the web (run) or did you try to download the installer first, then install it from your harddrive?

I tried to install it from the web. It worked when I saved it to the hard drive. Is this a Vista thing since I didn't have to do that with my last laptop? Thanks for the help gerryf19.
