For some reason or other, neither one will get past the part of the installation where they probe for hardware. I've let both versions get after it for over 2 hours, and they're still probing for hardware. Any suggestions as to what I should be doing to not have this happen? The machine I'm trying this on has an AMD Duron CPU running at just over 1 Gig. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
