1. as general help for error messages: Windows provides troubleshooting information for some of the more commonly encountered system errors. This troubleshooting information will help you diagnose the problem quickly.\n\nWhen you click Help in an error message dialog box, you will get the following information:\n\nA detailed description of the error. \nOne or more ways in which you can resolve the error. \nA list of related tools and Help topics that may help you prevent the error from occurring in the future. \n\n2. the problem should be solved with full reinstallation of XP, because on the installation disc all the run programs are unaffected by the virus.\n\n3. if it is still not working, maybe you should try reinstall the motherboard driver. then the bios should be ready to support the windows reinstallation.\nI hope it will help you. good luck!\n\nP.S. I know there is an translator program for windows errors somewhere, on the net, but I couldn"t find it. If any error occurs after installing use a registry cleaning software, you can even have a free scanning and checking on-line. eg.:http://www.registryfix.com

If you only installed an additional hard drive that should have had no bearing on the XP Install Key. \nDid you purchase XP from a retailer or on-line?\nIs this computer a used computer you got from someone else or purchased new with this operating system installed?\n\nIn the new patches for XP there is a new key check process.\n\nIf you purchased the CD On-line, you most likely got scammed and it's not a legal copy.\nIf you purchased from a retailer I hope you saved your receipt as I would bring it back for an exchange if possible. (not likely)\nIf you had it preinstalled on the computer and purchased the computer new, you need to contact the tech support of the computer manufacturer to clear it up.\nIf you purchased the computer used, pre-installed you do not have a legal copy of XP.  \nHope this helps.

There are two primary ways to install XP.  You can do a full install which completely wipes out your hard drive, or you can do a Repair Install.  A Repair Install will NOT erase your programs or change your personal settings.  You will have to visit the Windows Update site to reinstall any updates that came out after your XP install disk was made (including SP2 if it's not on the disk.)\n\nThis link give you step by step instructions for a Repair Install, including actual screen shots of what you will see. I selected XP Pro but the steps are the same for XP Home.  I'd suggest trying the Repair Install first.  It takes about an hour.  The Windows Updates will take about another hour.  If the problems are fixed, great.  A full install takes about the same amount of time, but then you've got to reload all your other programs and put your personal settings back the way they were.  And that could take all day.  Hope this helps.\n\nhttp://www.windowsxpprofessional.windowsreinstall.com/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm\n\nplrr

Your system requirements are probably too low to install XP

Go to: Control Panel -> Performance & Maintenance -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager\n\nAnd check if every device is working correctly. If not, usually it will show different icon on top of it. Then you would need to find the newest or appropriate driver that XP could accept. Usually the website of the original manufacture of your device should have host the driver.

most likely, your boot file is corrupted. put your windows xp disk into your optical drive and reboot from the cd. go to repair console and repair the boot file

well you can ask... I asked for some odd stuff and people fed ex'd me. If you ask nicely and someone has a spare copy they may send you one. I got a few free copies of XP pro because the local college is getting ready to upgrade to vista, and XP64 Pro. So yes, I guess you can get a free copy of XP, I don't know about here, I asked around on alot of boards before I got some contacts that affered me there old copies since they didn't need it anymore. I also got a free video card and a bunch of 1Gb Dimms just by asking people. Although I did explain to them what I needed it for and my situation as to why I couldn't afford it myself back then.

You cannot legally download XP anywhere that I am aware. Also serial numbers for XP are specific to that copy of XP due to the microsoft validation and activation system.

I have the newer version on my laptop, but i got the same error on my desk top. You may have an older model computer that doesn't meet the requirements for this new application. What really burns me up, is that I can't go back to the version I was using, either.\nPerhaps you have a copy of XP and it won't allow you to update.

the first thing to do is make sure your system is at least equal to minimum requirements as listed on the home xp box. From there the install is as easy as 123. It should overwrite anything malicious that it comes across. If not you may try using the system disc that came with your computer to do a clean re-install and then again do the home xp upgrade. I hope this helps and good luck.

Probably. \n\nThe blue screen has some information on it - usually telling some kind of error was found somewhere. \n\nIf you'd read that information to us, we could help you more. \n\nStill, loading XP on the laptop will probably fix the error for now.

It's probably not compatible with your operating system. For example many windows 95 programs wont work because that was 16 bit, and XP runs off 32 bit processors.\n\nYou can try changing it by right clicking the setup -> properties and changing the compatibility mode until it gives the desired effect (works lol)

let's just say that the software is not compatible or was not built for XP. For the fact that the game was released last 1997. Try an emulator or something so that you can still play the game.

Hehe ... if u just download it ... nothing happends.\nIf u try to install it over it, by Updating Win98 to WinXp, ... if everything goes smoothly nothing happens either.\nIf some registry entryes goes mixted up then u might not be able to load some of the programs and your system will run slow.\nI recomand that u install the Win Xp version on a diffrent partition ... formated NTFS for better performance and encryption (security).

Kindly disregard the previous advice, as it doesn't pertain to your problem.\n\nTo fix your problem, boot to your Windows CD and perform a "repair installation". \n\nHere are instructions, with screen shots, on how to do that:\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm#How%20to%20Repair%20Windows%20XP%20by%20Installing%20Over%20top%20of%20Existing%20Setup:\n\nNote: When you get to the page you may have to scroll to the link that says "How To Run A Repair Install"

This program almost certainly will not work at all on XP.  You could try, after installing, right clicking on the .exe file, the one that initiates the program, and choosing Properties, Compatibility, checking Run this Program....and choosing Windows 95.  But in my experience, this only sometimes works.\n\nIt should not however slow your computer or harm it, if it even in fact installs.  And you can always uninstall it.  My advice, if you are going to install it, is to set a Restore Point in System Restore just before you install it, so that you can easily return to your previous state if things don't work out.\n\nBut also, I would advise you to find a different program that does the stuff that you want this old program to do, even if the more modern program does more than you want.....
