Problem installing SQL Server 2005 SP2

The problem seems to be with the authentication. It froze when Windows
updates attempted to install it, so I downloaded the exe from the ms
site. However this freezes too while running the "Authentication
Verification". This also happens if I just click the Test button.
I tried both Windows Authentication and SQL authentication and same
happens on both.
Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Thanks,
zoro.
I've seen it during upgrade of a piece of ... PC ( 4GB HD, 128MB RAM, P
III ). It didn't really locked up though,
but it took good 10 minutes... could it be resource related in your case
too?

No - this pc is a P4 3 GHz, 1GB memory and about 6 GB free disk space.
I also let it run for about an hour before I used the Task Manager to
kill it.

You may have connectivity problems to the AD? What do the upgrade logs say?
