My current OS is Win 98SE. I am unable to install the Win XP Pro
Upgrade. It hangs. When I run the Windows Upgrade Advisor (either from
the CD-ROM or a file that I downloaded from the Microsoft website, the
Upgrade Advisor goes through the following steps until it also hangs.
The steps the Upgrade Advisor goes through are as follows:
Preparing a list of components
Preparing setup database
Preparing an upgrade report
Examining programs - It tests many files in all directories
Processing system files - The Upgrade Advisor hangs when
it gets to "DVD Movie Player." I once got the Upgrade Advisor
to display that this was being used by some other program.
If anyone can provide any guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. I
would ordinarily remove the CD drive, but I need it to install the Win
XP Pro Upgrade.
Hope to hear from someone.
