Default Trial Install Hangs System.

Downloaded the Trial. Open the file and the first dialog displays, waiting
for entry of the key. At that point, my system is basically hung. It does
run, but so slow that it's hard to tell. If I try to open task manager it may
take 10 minutes before it shows. Looking at the task manager, the system is
pretty much idle.

It looks like Windows Explorer may be hosed, but all that's certain is that
the system doesn't appear to be doing anything (no disk access), and doesn't
want to do anything. Windows take the same lengthy time to refresh, etc.

Took over an hour to get all running tasks shutdown so the system could be
shutdown, which took about 20 minutes more, but eventually was able to
restart. System works normally as long as I don't start the install again.
I've downloaded a second time to make sure the download was good. Same issues.

This is WinXP SP2, Office 2K3 installed without Visio.
