Yes ran Setup.exe in the CD, says it completed normally and required a
restart, I hit restart, it went to Windows is saving settings...and
nothing...would not close down. I closed down via the console. Started it
again and is sitting on starting up (ie XP logo and status bar underneath
moving horizontally).
Went to Settings in the console and it knows nothing about additions being
installed.
