Thanx for suggestion. I did download memtest a while ago but itz still unused coz I forgot about it.

Will give it a go when I can get back to that problem.

BTW, was it you who said they did a physics degree at London some 40 years ago. Long long time! Did you ever come across my old friend and physics mentor Don Barnes who did a PhD in physics there about that time. Maybe you tutored him, he tutored you, met up for a drink occasionally, or just heard of him? just curious.

236711 2004-05-15 12:47:00 Sounds as your XP Pro disk is stuffed, I have just resolved this problem on a new computer I built for a mate.
Every thing was new, AMD 2500 etc. but upon installing XP Pro it would just hang at mup.
I used another copy of XP Pro and bingo installation went fine.
