Hi Harvey:
Can you try these basic install 'best practices" I got from someone in the
Setup group? You might also want to make sure that you disable any anti
virus software running on the machine.
Best practice for Windows 2000 and Windows XP installations include:
--logging in as local administrator (the domain matching the machine name)
as opposed to a user with administrator rights;
--clearing the system temporary folder<system partition letter>:\Documents
and Settings\<%userprofile%>\Local Settings\Temp, but not always, could be
<system partition letter>:\Winnt\Profiles\<%userprofile>\Local
Settings\Temp;
--and stopping all un-needed services particularly monitoring services such
as anti-virus programs.
MSConfig, native to Windows XP can help stop services. To use go to Start
| Run, and type MSConfig. On the General tab select Selective Startup and
clear the four check boxes beneath it (leave Use Original BOOT.INI
selected). Next Click the Service Tab and check the Windows Installer.
Many installations require this service be running. Click Apply, Close,
and restart the computer per the prompts.
To return the MSConfig to Normal Start after you have completed the
installation, select Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services
on the General tab.
I hope this helps.
