I don't know if this will help or not but I have always been under
the impression that all nonessential software should be off when
installing new software. In fact, I use a utility called "End-It-All"
to turn off the nonessentials during new installations.
The reason, as I understand it, is you don't want anything writeing
to disk when you are writing new software.
