    I'm installing Windows XP on a brand new system. The install goes fine until I get to where I'm supposed to setup the Computer name and description for networks. I click next and it just hangs there. Does nothing. I can't get passed that screen.

    I've tried different sticks of memory and get the same results. Any suggestions?

    Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I swapped harddrives and forgot I had to manually key the settings into the bios for the last one, so the new one(which can be auto-detected) was being read as the old. Big conflict there. Set it back to auto, the new one was picked up and it's all better now. :D

    Well, at least you're okay now.
