Install hangs at collecting information

I have burned 3 dvds with the 32bit version of vista and each burns ok. When
I try to install it after I put in the key and hit next it hangs at
collecting information. I have tried both getting updates and not getting
updates. Any ideas? mY SYSTEMS IS GOOD FOR THIS SOFTWARE OK>

Re: Install hangs at collecting information

I would start by updating your BIOS and disconnecting any devices that are
attached and not required.

Re: Install hangs at collecting information

uncheck the activate box and see what happens, also leave the key blank, you
can enter it later.
