Did you temporarily disable your pop-up blocker so you can see if there are any messages?
Have you tried Control+Alt+Del to open the Task Manager? It may show you what is supposed to be running. There might be something you can close to free up memory.
90 Minutes is a long time for cleanup. When is the last time you did a defrag?
Strongly suggest next time, when everything is running smoothly, you set a system restore date. Then, when you install something new, if it messes up, you can go back to a better time.

Is the installed XP legit? SP2 won't install on some pirated copies.

for sure it is going to nonetheless be actual. provider p.c.. 3 is the top results of all updates formally released with the help of microsoft. so that's not a pirated software or a software which will make your software pirated. as long as you purchased it formally from microsoft you'd be tremendous. what's more effective is that you're going to patching up a large type of safe practices holes on your os. so it truly is going to be reliable.
