visual studio 2010 web projects

Question

This is just taking too long. Cannot install visual studio, i have a msdn subscription, but after installing the grand total of available web projects is 3. mvc won't install. sp1 won't install. any ideas? win xp. this is driving me nuts. why can't it "just work"?

since it won't let me invent tags, i'll include them here: i-give-up wtf-microsoft
