    Windows XP SP3

    I'm having a problem with SP3 install where it gets to the "Running Proccesses after Install" and it just sits there and doesnt finish. It's up right now actually and it's been sitting at the same percentage for over 2 hours. Anyone else experianced this? Any idea what I can do to get it to finish? Thanks.

    Make sure you're running as few processes as possible. Disable your antivirus during the install, turn off any widgets or messaging applications, anything that you can close, close it. Service packs update/move/remove/replace many system files, if anything's using them when it tries to perform an action it might hang like you say.
