Purchased DVD won't Install either

[Guest]

Advisor tells me I am good to go but don't expect my scanner to be
recognized. No problem.

However my machine never gets to the installation part. It locks up while
"gathering information" stage. I assumed the spinning hour glass was an
indication of downloading updates.One hour later it is/was still spinning.
Any ideas?


I am running AMD AthlonXP 3000, 1.5 gig memory, 3 harddrives, ATI TVWonder,
and a GeForce FX5500 256meg graphics card

I am assuming that you are installing from XP.

First make sure you are installing Vista X86 32 bit version. Then try
installing from bootup to a clean NTFS formatted primary drive partition. It
may be a little slow installing so be patient. If you are installing to a
sata drive, be sure to have your driver disk handy.
