Lots came to mind at first (e.g., registry, system.ini, etc.), then I re-read your post: [T]ried re-installing xp but it says it will take 51 minutes to prepare...6 hours later it remains the same.
Are you saying the reinstallation begins, but then simply freezes? In other words, you're stuck with a partial installation and can't move beyond it. Or the reinstallation completed after 6 hours, but programs will still not load?
Please clarify with more information.
