Oracle Database Discussions

I have problem installing oracle 10 g on Windows XP Professional. When the installation goes to "Configuration Assistants", it shows three options, Oracle Net configuration Assistant, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and iSQL *Plus Configuration Assistant. However, the status of "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" keep showing "In progress.." for more than 6 hours. It seems the program is not responding, then I stopped the program, uninstall it and tried to install it again but the installation still stopped at "Configuration Assistants". I did the installation/uninstall 3 times already. Could anyone help and provide some solutions?
