Re: Windows XP Installation Stops with 34 minutes remaining

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You problem is not entirely clear to me (since I am a novice, too,) but check
this website and see if it helps:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281653

I installed XP today and it kept stopping at 13 minutes to go, while
"registering components." I could not understand the workaround they
suggest, but the explanation seemed to imply that it wasn't actually not
responding, it only appeared that way (that is, sitting for an hour or more
without appearing to progress.) So, I let it sit for perhaps 2 hours, and it
finally finished!

Sorry if this has absolutely nothing to do with your problem!
