XP Freezes when doing multi-disk installs

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry


Hi,

I have the following problem, I have an IBM Thinkpad with WinXP Pro,
when I try to install software that has more than one disk the computer
freezes after I retire disk 1 and insert disk 2 into the cd-drive,
sometimes even does it when it's a single disk install but it's more
frequent when there's more than 1 disk, any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
