I am attempting to install my VPC w/ Windows XP, but each time I get to the
step to install the Windows, the process stops with less than 10 seconds to
go and neither the VPC or windows shows up. Am I missing a step? Or is the
zipped file on disc 2 not completely opening? I'm at a loss.

What system are you attempting to install VPC on? It could be a wonky
CD drive or if it's an Intel Mac, you're out of luck. VPC won't run on
that hardware nor will Microsoft be upgrading it to do so. Use
Parallels or BootCamp instead.

Can you describe what you're doing exactly, step by step along with the
hardware and software you're running on your system?
