I am attempting to install WXP Service Pack 1 on a different computer. The
download seemed to go fine. The computer has appeared to be inactive for the
last 40 minutes with a window that says:

Service Pack 1 Set-up Wizard
Finishing Installation
Running processes after install

As far as I can tell, nothing is happening. How long should I wait for this
part of the install process? Other than suicide, what's the next recommended
step when nothing happens? Thanks for all you help.
