NEVER do an "upgrade" of your operating system or these problems are what you get. backup your data, format the PC and do a clean install and all your woes should be solved. your pc will run a bit faster too i expect.

Did not get either message the only USB device i hooked was a digital camera .

But you "upgraded" your operating system from windows 98 or ME right?

didnt do a clean install of XP, but chose "i want to upgrade my operating system [Recomended]"

why it says recommended i dont know because its no easier than the other way, yet doing it the "recomended" way just causes system problems and instability

Yes i did upgrade from me,is there anything i can do now?

Back-up

Format

Clean install

By clean install do you mean buying xp and installing?

By clean install i mean a install from a blank Hard drive, with any Os you like

=Drew

By clean install do you mean buying xp...

you should have already bought XP

when you put the XP cd in your drive you are given the options:

Do you wish to upgrade your current windows installation? (recomended)

Continue with full install (advanced users)

or something to that effect. the first option isnt much different to the last one in terms of screens you see etc.

but what it does is remove some files and replace other on your windows installation and "merges" the two together. what results is unstable systems, drive issues, hardware not working (usually USB or sound) and overall slow system performance.

The stop error you get is one such syptom, but could be caused by other factors... the other main one you have ruled out.

im pretty sure you chose the "recomended" option when installing XP...

backup your files you want to keep.

format your hard drive (you can do this in "advanced user" install) just delete the partition with XP on it, then create new partition and windows will the proceed to install as normal.

you do all of that in the XP install screens, set your BIOs to boot from CD if it isnt already, pop the xp CD in and restart it.

DONT select "upgrade" this time round, this should cure your issues.

if you didnt do that option last time, try this:

if you have service pack one installed you will need a Slipstreamed windows XP cd.

put the CD in your drive then go to the START button.

go to RUN.

in the runbox type sfc /scannow

then press OK or hit enter.

thats sfc<SPACE>/scannow

Windows will check system files and replace any that are damaged or different from on the CD, it might well fix your problem.

I like it when he talks like that.

hehe, does it turn you on msnwar

Thanks everybody for your help i'll let you know how it turns out .Qne more question ,what is a slipstreamed cd?
