Well thanks again poolking! the link really got me out of a spot, the setup i was doing was for my niece for xmas. It would not have looked good if santa could not have got the internet working! So you saved the day mate....xmas was complete for her.
Just to add, even after i did get registered thanks to poolking, after every reboot i was still getting a mesage to say that the install had failed and please insert the disk. It then froze on the same closing dialogue box.
The file that was doing this was called 'recoverfromreboot.exe' which is held in c:\windows\temp. I had to do a few things to clear this problem for good.
Firstly i did ctrl_alt_del and tabbed over to processes and ended the process called 'recoverfromreboot'.
Second i went to 'start' then 'run' and typed 'msconfig', tabbed over to 'startup' and unticked an entry for 'recoverfromreboot'.
Third i went to 'start' then 'run' again and typed 'regedit', i opened up 'HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Run' and removed an entry for 'recoverfromreboot' by right click on the value in the right window and going to 'delete'.
Lastly all that was left was to remove the file itself which was as mentioned before stored in c:\windows\temp, then the problem was gone.

I added this info in the hope it may help someone out sometime, if its already on the site somewere i am sorry. Big thanks to poolking again for saving the day!! Nicola XO :-)
