Unable to install applications

f

Hello, I am using an IBM T30 laptop. I am facing a problem from last couple of days. I am not able to install any application on my computer. I have to try several times to install the application and fortunately if the applications gets installed it does not open. I thought that it might be happening due to some Virus. I scanned the disk for Virus however no Virus was found. I also formatted the disk and installed a fresh copy of windows XP. Then I tried to install the applications and software’s however I still face the same problem. Now im also facing the problem with Windows updates. Can any one please suggest if this is a problem with the hardware or something else?
