if you are refering to the light that comes on at the
front of the comp, its not a "cpu" light. it denotes hard
drive activity.
your comp is doing the install but its under the
direction of msn web site.
the time it took to install does seem quite long as mine
only took about 5 mins.
if every thing works ok the i wouldn't worry about it.
