hey ive searched the web far and wide and i cant seem to figure out why it is that i have a totally legit copy of xp pro (sp1) and it seems to be missing files during installation

i really need to get this pc up and running again

long story short little kids messed up my computer...

i dont know too much about the software and os side of things im more of a hardware kinda guy

this will be the third time that i have deleted my partition and tried to do this all over again

the missing files seem to always be

driver.cab

kodak_dc.icm

iyuv_32.dll

is it possible to download these files from somewhere and put them where they need to be to make windows run properly?

am i just stuck up creek without a paddle???

what do i do?!?

thanks for your time

what do you mean by clearing the cd?

and i cant seem to get into the ms support center because i need to pay and thats bull

its not my fault their product is faulty...

can i take the files im missing from one computer running xp pro and put it on my computer having problems?

would that work?

You could find someone with the same type of cd you have and make a copy of it.

It has to be the same type you have ie retail or OEM or your key may not work.

Also there are different oem disks ie generic ones from microsoft or ones from

manufactures such as dell or gateway etc.

actually media does matter - it needs to be the same media as what you already have.

Also try a different cd-rom drive. I have seen this kind of issue with drives that are starting to fail but still function well enough for general use.

and i think by "clearing" he meant cleaning. Usaully scratches or dirt on the cd will cause this, but sometimes it's the drive.
