<P>It all comes down to this. If your having trouble with install you machine is too old and any switches you try wont work. You need a new machine. I spent three weekends, whole weekends doing nothing but trying all variations of the install. </P>
<P>Bottom line I bought a new P4 3.0ghz the whole install took 4 minutes to install, Wiped the w XP that was on the new machine, formated the 160gig drive, installed all four cds, dowm load etc etc.</P>
<P>Have fun<BR></P>
