As for the key code.....I encountered the same stupidity when I did my install...but I was lucky in that I have two cd drives in my system....I put the cd with the zip file and a copy of the key code in the second drive and then used the "Add code from???" or whatever the button displayed in that screen says....and searched about for the key on the cd....I found it...all was good.<br>

<div>I am trying to install eCS 2.0 Silver (RC7).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After booting from the CD, I accept almost all the defaults offered by the installation program: Easy installation, Panorama video, no ACPI, etc. As far as I can tell, the installer is doing a good job identifying the hardware. About the only change I make is to add a serial port controller. For sound, I pick the first item - Universal driver.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After entering the registration information (Is there any way to generate the diskette that can be used to enter this information ? It's, of course, a bit of a nuisance to have to keep entering it each time I try again to get the installation done.), the actual installation starts with the blue progress bar running across the bottom of the screen.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It all seems to be going as expected. However, when it gets to the part shown as 'Merging additional driver selections ...', things go awry. The blue bar continues to move, but nothing seems to be happening. I have let it run a few hours just in case it needed the time, but it's pretty clear the system is stuck. No keystrokes I can think of accomplish anything. Even Ctrl-Alt-Del has no effect. All I seem to be able to do is hit the Off or Reset button. <br>
<br>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
<div>Can anybody tell me what I can do to get beyond this point ? If it has been covered somewhere else, can someone point me to that ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would appreciate any suggestions.</div>
