Nothing installs?

This is an Optiplex GX260 were talking about, that was bought from a library, old equipment sale, so no CD's were included. A clean install of XP pro was done by them, however, nothing will install. While attempting to install any normal program, The following error message appears, during the extraction process. "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet." According to this error message, I played around with the paging file, which did nothing, so I then reverted it back to its default, so the paging file is evidentally not the issue. A similar problem occurs when attempting to install the essential drivers. It is a different error message. "An error occured while unzipping. One or more files were not unzipped sucessfully. The error code is 110." Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Get your own disk or better yet, demand the disk from the library because you have an EULA violation here.
    If the system came with an OS installed by rights the disks are yours but if no disks came with your system, the hard drive should have been wiped.
     
    Buy your own copy of XP and do a clean install.

    First, try a Windows Update if you haven't already.

    A clean install yes, but you do not know what was done to lock done the installation.

    I will definitely see if I can get those driver CD's from them and hopefully that wont be a problem. But in the event that they are unable to do so, how would another clean install do the trick, if that's already what they did?
