Went through system recovery to bring back factory settings and went through all of the setup fine. on the final step when I clicked "finish" the computer froze. The mouse is movable but nothing is clickable and the recovery isn't completeing through to the desktop. I have restarted the computer but it just goes straight back to that screen and I click Finish again it is freezes again....

Hi:
You night try restoring your computer back to the "Last Known Good Configuration": How to start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature To start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature, follow these steps: 1.. Restart your computer. 2.. When you see the "Please select the operating system to start" message or first black screen, press the F8 key. 3.. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER. 4.. If you are running other operating systems on your computer, use the ARROW keys to select Microsoft Windows XP, and then press ENTER.

If previous reply did not restore which I doubt very much that it did, you most likely are going to have to try and run your System Restore CD once again and hope this time it will run through to completion.

I shall suggest you to unplug any external devices, such as USB printers, cameras or scanners. These devices could interfere with the recovery process.
