How do you do a complete scan without stopping at the beginning?

I'm doing a full scan on my Windows XP and it stops almost immediately and sits there for hours.  How it will do and what the problem is. I rebooted and nothing, same thing when I start again.  I checked my options, etc and can't find anything that would prevent the full analysis.  There is no error message.  He just hangs up on the 3 first bars and everything goes ever further.   Its Security Essentials that scans that is suppose to analyze the entire computer.
