    Are you booting from the CD?

      Where exactly does it stop?

      Also, what are the specs of the computer?
      (Video Card, RAM, Processor, Hard Drive Capacity, ect...)

      Also, did you format it before installing?

      Is this a legal copy of XP?

        Can you try formatting the Hard Drive (this will get rid of everyone on the HD, just in case you didn't know)
