Why does windows vista in vmware player take a long time to install?

Question

Windows

I'm installing windows vista into a virtual machine from a disk from an old laptop without easy install, now at the "Installation Completion" stage after a reboot. The cursor does not move, nothing has happened on the screen of the virtual machine for more than 20 hours, while the vmware-vmx.exe process steadily eats 30% of the CPU. What is the reason and what can be done? On the computer win 8.1 x64.
