I'm trying to install vista 32 bit home premium on a newly homebuilt pc.
It freezes in the very last step. (finishing instalation or something like that)
Any tips?

How much RAM you using? Some systems cannot install with more than 3 gig of RAM. You install with two and then apply a hotfix before putting back the extra RAM. This was only on some motherboards though.

If that's not it then it might be a driver hanging things up. If you have any USB drives or devices try installing without them.

ok thanks.
It is a HTPC, so it has a LCD display. I'll try unplugging it and installing it without it.
