Game Installations Keep Stalling!

Whenever I try to install a game (Crysis, Supreme Commander, Civ IV,
take your pick) from a DVD (or by running an image of the DVD I created
through Daemon Tools) the installation will run for about 5 minutes and
then, inexplicably, stop working. No error message will appear, nor
does vista regard the program as "not responding", it simply goes quiet
and no more files are copied/installed.

Any thoughts? I'm at a loss.

I had the same or similar problem. Any install from a DVD would as you say
stall after about a minute or so. Any install from a CD went just fine. At
first I thought I had a defective drive. But, a clean re-install of Vista
and the problem did not occur again. Never did find out what caused the
problem originally. Just an FYI - this was on a new Dell XPS420.
