XP install

I am trying to reinstall XP pro. I have the computer booting to the cd. When I get to the screen asking to click F8 to agree to the the license agreement, it just sits there and won't continue. The keyboard works because if I select the ESC key, it backs out and will not continue. I have tried this several times. Any ideas anyone?

What went wrong that you need to reinstal? Have you tested the harddrive? Is this a clean instal?

I suggest, if you can, you try and run the xp cd on someone elses machine. See if you can get past the license agreement part, if you can, it's probably your cdrom.
