633791 2008-01-25 02:51:00 Is there a way to run XP setup so that it tells me everything that it is doing, so that I know which devices it is trying to install when it freezes? Agent_24 (57)
633792 2008-01-25 06:54:00 By XP setup i asume you are using setup wizard? and if so it should be in the title e.g Adobe Acrobat Setup Wizard. nzjab06 (101)
633793 2008-01-25 07:54:00 no, I mean installing the windows XP operating system from CD to hard drive, and by devices I mean hardware, like video card, sound card, etc....

No chance to install adobe anything, when windows won't even install yet!

633794 2008-01-25 09:47:00 Are you doing a full install or a repair install. When ever I have tried a repair install it would hang up on devices. I had to do a full install to overcome this problem.

Fixed the problem by disabling DOS USB Keyboard support....

I have had the same thing before. Glad you got it sorted! :thumbs:
