Installing Windows

[Marv]

I have an old system that I am trying to setup for my grand kids. I
installed XP but when it tries to restart it froze at the point that the
logo screen shows up. I have tried to restart using the XP installation
disk and booting from the CD but it appears to load the drivers and then in
the windows setup screen it shows Setup is starting Windows and then hangs.

Any thought as to where I should start looking for the failure to get beyond
this point?

Minimum specs such as Vendor/Modem - CPU Speed and total RAM
helps us to help you. What was the original OS of the machine ? It may
not meet minimum requirements. My first suggestion would be to review
the BIOS settings. From your description it seems like a core driver is
not starting/loading. Also was this a "Fresh" install or did you attempt to
upgrade an existing OS ?

Thanks for the reply. The system uses a 1.7MH processor and 512 MB of
memory. The installation was clean (the HD was formatted prior to
installation) and the previous OS was 98SE. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Does this happen at the 34 minute mark?
