Windows XP Media Center Install hangs

[Guest]

Hello,

Thank you in advance. I have been trying to install Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2005 software. It sounds like most of the install going fine; and at
certain point I am getting a flashing screen with more or less looks like the
following message/s: "installing addtional applications, computer will reboot
when it is done", "this install may take 20 minutes", "do not press any key"
.. At this point it is hanging forever. I would really appreciate any
suggestions on this.

Thanks again,
Kishore

Hi Kishore

OEM version of MCE 2005?

Hi

Best plan is to contact Dell and ask them what the problem could be. It may
be some of their own software that is causing the problem.
