Installation Stalls out

[Jackaroo]

Basically, I just purchased Office XP pro and installation progresses
normally until the b ar reaches about halfway, no errors, no crashing, it
just stops.

I have tried uninstalling all other non-essential programs with no result.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Where did you purchase this software from? It's now two versions out of
date.

I received this for my new laptop through my office's home use program. I
purchased the license for about $20. All I need is to be able to create, read
and edit word, excel, and power point documents, so I saw no need to pay out
the extra cash for the more up to date software.

In anticipation of further questions, my system does meet the minimum
requirements, but has a tendency to have this same problem with standard
updates, downloads and installations (Java plug ins, Windows Updates,
Security Updates, Norton/Symantec Updates, Adobe Acrobat Reader), so I think
the problem has more to do with my configuration than faulty software and
disks.
