Windows Xp SP2 prpgress bar freezing

Your computer is not taking the "next" step, i.e., reading your copy of Windows from your disk-drive, and starting to run Windows.

So, check that the "power" and "data" cables are correctly connected from your power-supply and motherboard to your disk-drive.

Also, it's possible that your disk-drive has "died".

Take the computer to a qualified computer technician, for more trouble-shooting.

You cannot upgrade (as you say load ) from Windows XP to Windows XP. You simply cannot do this and there is no point in doing it as I explain. You can upgrade Windows XP to Windows Vista easily. In the case that you want to keep Windows XP and want to enjoy better security and new features than what you do is you go to "My computer" icon and right click it and then take properties of it. The new page that will open you carefully check for these SP1(Service Pack 1), SP2 (Service Pack 2) or likewise SP3.
If you do not find any (SP)Service Packs than according to your requirement you can download and install SP1 or SP2.
Caution: The third level service Pack for Windows XP is SP3. Microsoft has declared that it is not for everyone. I strongly discourage you to install SP3 unless you have a strong requirement for it. After that you can put your XP on normal regular updates from Microsoft.

Good Luck!

I don't know why this wouldn't work on Vista HP, but this excerpt from the manual suggests that your XP SP1 Pro would not work without the SP2 rollup:

"Please perform the following upgrades before connecting the camera to a computer.
-Upgrade Windows XP to SP2.
Install Windows XP SP2.
-Install Windows Messenger 5.0 or later version.
Download Windows Messenger 5.0 or later version, and install it.
-If using MSN Messenger, please install MSN Messenger 7.0 or later
version."

Perhaps if you are following the steps exactly in the manual and it still does not work, upgrading Messenger will magically help.

Try to to download and install the latest Radeon drivers
You will find the drivers here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML

Just follow the steps on that site, select your OS etc

I think that will solve your problem

Good luck to you
