When I try to install any programs from a CD all works fine until it reaches
the preparing to install tag. It just sits there and nothing happens. I run
XP Home SP2.

What computer? How much RAM installed? What CPU, Intel or
AMD? What software is also installed, such as anti-virus or
software protection?
How long does it "just sit there" doing "nothing?"

Do you click "next" when it says preparing to install?

Perhaps try a more appropriate newsgroup for your situation. This Newsgroups
tries to deal with WU issues.

Windows XP Newsgroups - Look for General
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...ewsgroups.mspx

Do however, give as much information as possible, otherwise you won't get
much of a response.

Thank you.
