Another thing to consider, if the problem is actually 'freezing', is that it is most likely at root a memory issue (def related to 'downloading a bunch of crap,' usually) - before you run the install, clear out any programs set to boot at start that might be running in the backround via cntl-alt-delete. If this helps, you'll want to permanently prevent them from loading, which we can get into later - this will also require you to use spybot and ad-aware.
