TED510 Software Evaluation 08-28-07

I have tried to install and run 5 different pieces of software. None worked correctly. Some, when inserted, just made the CD drive whurr. Two gave the following message during the installation process, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator".
The last one tried went through 47% of setup then stopped with a little window with a red cross in it.

Most of the problems, I would say is due to the St. Rose IT security in this lab.

The software titles I tried are:
The Incredible Machine"
Thinki'n Science
Kidphonics
Plants and AnimalsWherein the World is Carmen Sandiego
