For many reasons I had to conduct a reinstallation of my
XP Pro (Upgrade). As I did not want to lose all my
settings (7 accounts on the system. I performed a re-
installation (upgrade) over my existing XP Pro (using the
same CDROM. Everything went well untill I reach the
point "Setup will complete in appox 24 minutes -
completing installation" then the installation grinds to a
halt, yet the screen continues giving me all the lovely
marketing messages about how good XP is!!!

Any advice on how to finish the installation appreciated.
I also have some 47GB of other Apps installed and a clean
install is not really sought after....hours of finding all
the disks and keys.

Thanks in advance,
Regards, Mike L
