FIXED IT! Had to delete machine.inf to manually skip drivers that were hanging me up... followed http://nitinpai.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/xp-installation-the-34-minute-hiccup/ I think this is one of the most ANNOYING problems i have faced, hopefully others facing this can search and find my...

OK... i let it go the 30 mins it takes to get to 33 mins and then hangs and says on the setupapi.log: "Removing Root\*PNP0501\1_0_17_0_0_0"

[Legacy Devices] Root\*PNP0501\1_0_17_0_0_0 = Ports (COM & LPT) That is the last line of the pnplog.txt file In the setupapi.log file it is so long with all the restarts I tried, but I remember after examining the log when it would get to 33 mins and then NEVER move again, it says its trying...

Hmm... well i see where your going... however, the log files show that the hard drives have been installed along with the DVD drives already. I agree it cant be the vid card now, but in the logs it seems to be on a portion of device install involving ports on the MOBO, "Legacy Devices". I tried...

I am having problems with Windows and my hard drive, but I believe they are seperate from this issue. Durring the Windows XP Home repair install the process hangs durring the 34 minute mark, it has done this before and I followed the "restart untill it skips the device its stuck on" solution and...

I don't think so because I have another computer that runs just fine on the same router.... its gotta be a software issue on this computer.

Well still no luck, got rid of the spyware and scanned for viruses... anyone got more advice. PS: Comcast will just tell me to restart my comp and then if that dont work they will want to send out a person and Im not payin for that.

Restarting only temporarily fixes for a while Checking for viruses and spyware currently Have Comcast Internet

My problem is that at anytime my internet connection can at least seem to go faulty and stop working partially. By this I mean that, for example I will start my computer up (with the cable modem DIRECTLY connected to it) and browse websites, use P2P applications or most of the time play World of...

I guess I can look for updated drivers... but no one has any ideas of why this is happening?

Well I was hoping for an Lcd, but I think that is outta the question because my budget is probably only like 80-120$

My computer is a custom built and it is not old, my sisters is a Dell that I picked out for her and it is only about 7 months old itself... but I could still check the BIOS, what do you think?

I am running two computers in my room and I have 2 very bad/old monitors. One is an HP monitor that takes up way too much space and the cable is so busted that it currently is unusable, but my dad may be able to fix it temporarely. The other is some small POS that my dad was gonna throw out and...

Well I have an HP Deskjet 648C printer that seems to be having software conflicts that my experience has not run across, so I need some help. For the past 3 years I have put up with this printer locking up* before jobs, mid jobs, and many other combos. It seems certain programs work and others...

Ok... well I am going to do an install of Windows XP Home anyway... if I dont restore the registry then I have about 200 things I have to reinstall, reconfigure, redownload, etc so what else do I do? It will be a clean install and format anyway, so if it creates problems I can allways format and...
