Win XP re -install freezes at 32 min left to go

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have responded to a question in another conference which asks for help with
a failing re-install whith 32 mins to go. and said I would ask in here This
happened to me and was sorted by Microsoft help desk (using the last of my 2
free support calls attendant with purchasing a full copy of XP) - by a lady
in India and lots of waiting Musak and a high phone bill! - but I can't for
the life of me recall the keysrtokes the support lady took me through to
"continue the process". I seem to remember it was something to do with
objections to some drivers that had halted the install but what keystorke
ovecame the problem alludes me. Ny one help?

There's this link:

Setup stops responding with 34 minutes remaining -

Perhaps the 34 minutes is really correct and the link will help you.

Malke - thanks for your reply - I have passed the link on. The
"keystrokes" I was trying to remember acted as a continue command, so I guess
that was the same as restarting - does cntrl F7 do this? dunno!

thanks again for your reply
