i am using the Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, and i am using it to
upgrade from my Microsoft Windows 98. i have now tried to finish my
installation several times, but could not get past the last 12 minutes of the
installation. I wish to know why it does not install and what i can do to
make it install.
thank you

What are the specs of your system? Have you run the Upgrade advisor first?
Many Windows 98 systems are very much on the borderline if not below the
specs Windows XP needs to install.
