    Hey I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate and I have been stuck at the "Windows is finalizing your settings" for over 3 hours, and sometimes the computer goes into sleep mode if I don't move the mouse after a while. I unplugged the usb flash drive. Any other tips? When I turn it off by holding the power button for several seconds, and then turn it back on, it resumes the finalizing settings screen.

    I am able to press shift + F10 and see the start menu and task bar and even able to open explorer and surf the web but when I try to reboot from the start menu it does nothing. If i turn off the power and then turn it back on it resumes. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    seems like it is working normally now, I held down the power button for a good 15 seconds, then pressed power again and it started up like it should. All is well now, thanks.
