Ubuntu 10.04 Installtion hangs on timezone screen :(

[sceneguy]

hey guys,

i need some help here. i`m installing ubuntu 10.04 LTS(desktop) on my old pc. i downloaded the iso via torrent from the ubuntu.com official site.
the install process is getting stuck on the "Where are you" timezone selection screen. I have done a lot of googling. but the problem is
1.i`m unable to understand some of the solutions posted on the net.
2.those mentioned like disable etherent etc havent worked.

i request someone who has faced the problem to post their solution or a linux expert to take a look at the following links and tell me in noob language.

thanks for your time

Did you try to hit forward and not change the timezone as suggested in one of the provided threads?

yeah, tried all those things. i left the pc on without pressing a key for like an hour no use.
