Hello Wade,
Are you still trying to re-install Vista and it still shows "Please Wait", if so, then your issue is outside my area of knowledge. This forum is for the support of Vista Activation and Validation issues. If you are having problems re-installing, I would suggest either (if Vista came pre-installed on your computer when you bought it) contacting the builder of the computer, as they would be the primary warranty support provider or go to http://support.microsoft.com for further support options.
Thank you,
Darin Smith
