Hi there, newbie here. I have tried to install XPSP2 3 times, all with the same result, it gets to the cleaning up stage of the install and freezes, I left the machine running overnight and it was still stopped at this point, I built the machine myself and it is set up as follows :- PC chips M848A motherboard, AMD Athlon 2800+xp processor, 1GB memory, 2X Western Digital 80GB hard drives, a Pioneer 108 DVD writer, Plextor CD writer, Phillips PVR+ 780 tv card and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AGP graphics card, installed software includes MS Office 2000, AVG anti virus, Zone alarm fire wall, all xp updates, ms messenger and yahoo messenger, Sims 2, Microsoft active sync, quick time, Nero 5, adobe reader 7 and cyberlink power dvd. does anyone have any suggestions, can try almost anything as this is a dual boot system with windows 2000 pro and all drives are backed up with paragon drive back up and stored on a removable 40 GB MP3 player
