    Browsing gets stuck half way thru loading

    I am using both Firefox and IE6. I can browse to my homepage, but when I type the URL, the bottom right indicator goes halfway to indicate that it is loading. It sits at the halfway mark for days if I let it and the page never loads. On the bottom left corner of the screen it always says...

    WIndows XP Pro hangs during installation

    Only problem is I was doing an upgrade hoping not to lose my apps as some of them I no longer have the install for. I initiated the upgrade from my Windows ME desktop. I am afraid that if I initiate the CD install at boot that I will erase everything. Your thoughts?

    WIndows XP Pro hangs during installation

    Thanks Mr. Greg, I will certainly do that, but I am at a loss when you say to restart the installation. If I reboot the installation automatically resumes. ESC doesn't cancel it and I have found no way to stop it so that I can restart the install. Any ideas?
