re: Problems installing Windows XP 2002 Friday, July 4, 2008 at 2:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1955 messages posted) A drinking buddy of mine has just told me about his experience with this one. His solution was to pull out all the devices not required at installation time such as network card, sound card etc (disable in BIOS if on-board devices) and to use only PS/2 keyboard and mouse, not USB. His theory on it was that some PNP devices might have been sharing an IRQ or something like that but he couldn't confirm it. Apparently the installation (full install - not an upgrade) went as smooth as silk with that minimum configuration and he simply added the devices one by one until fully configured. Sounds reasonable to me! Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
