I have been installing Windows XP service Pack 2 in the last hour and half. It is almost finish. Unfortunately, the installation process seems to have stopped in the middle of performing cleanup. Should I cancel the process? I really do not want to restart the whole installation process. Also, will it hurt my computer (it is a fujitsu laptop s series)?

The 'cleanup' can take ages sometimes. Personally, I'd leave it a bit longer to see if it finishes by itself.
I have (once) turned a pc off when it appeared to get 'stuck' doing this part. When I turned it back on, all was well & SP2 had installed perfectly.
I wouldn't recommend doing that though....real last resort stuff!

The clean up process can take a while, especially on slower computers, I would give it a bit longer.

See if your hard drive activity light is flashing, if you have one.
If it is your puter is doing its thing. leave it alone. Cleanup sometimes takes a long time.

If you cancel it now, you'll have to restart it from scratch.
