Yeah, its been a while. So i cant take it back. also the serial is right and i placed the cd and restarted the computer. Yeah its a crappy computer. sometimes when i restart it, it say Intel Pentium 4 and then sometimes it says Intel Pentium 4 HT

Answer 1

How long have you had your Shuttle?
If it isn't too late, take it bake and get a real PC. Shuttle has had nothing but problems, overheating, burn outs, power supply failures and crap motherboards.

Is this a clean install? Or are you putting it in overtop of another Windows version?

Most times when you get a freeze like that after rebooting it should ask you if you want to continue with the install. If it isn't asking you that question, you might want to try formatting the drive.

Answer 2

dont install windows xp from the desktop put the cd in and restart then computer then install windows xp from start up
make sure your typing in the serial right
