Hi,
Can you answer 3 questions for us? (well, 4 counting this one)
- How much memory is in your system?
- What CPU is in your system?
- What is the exact name of the ISO that you are trying to install?

It doesn't work too good with the minimum required memory either. XP works pretty good on the same PC though.
