Check to see that all of your hardware is on the XP HCL... (Hardware Compatability List)

What Marsden said is correct. It usually pertains to some incompatibility associated with a modem, network card, etc. Try removing these cards for the installation period and replacing them when the installation is complete. Also I've had the installation freeze because of a "process error". The pc actually stopped responding instead of a total freeze up. Try the installation again and when the pc freezes try holding in shift and hitting f10. If the computer has stopped responding it should bring up the task manager and you can view the processes running. If that doesn't work then you'll have to use your screw driver.
