    :confused: I am re-installing Win XP Pro and it stalls at "F8=I agree" for the License Agreement even if I page to the end and hit F8. I had it installed on this machine before and I have tested this CD of Win XP Pro on another machine successfully. Why won't the install continue when I hit F8?

    Welcome to WindowsBBS;)

    Guessing that you're using a USB keyboard.

    Try a PS2 keybaod or look in the bios for an option to enbel USB.

    Thank you! Steve I knew the answer had to be simple and I couldn't see what I was missing. I swapped out the USB keyboard for a PS2 and, viola, it worked just fine.
