I have 2 compaq presario systems (one a few years older than the other). The older compaq has Windows ME installed on it. The newer compaq has Windows XP installed on it. The newer compaq burned out, so I'm working with the older one now, but would like to install Windows XP on that system, as ME isn't working very well for me. The recovery disks don't allow me to do this, but as I purchased both systems, I expect I'm entitled to one active copy of windows XP, and am wondering how I go about getting a copy installed on my older compaq system.

I am attempting to install a Windows XP on a new system that I built. There is nothing on the SATA hard drive. I am getting the above error. So far I have tried: Creating a slipstreamed copy of XP with SP3. Updating the BIOS to the most recent. Tried an older PATA hard drive. Changed the SATA Operation in the CMOS from Enhanced to Compatable. Swapped the PCI-E video card to an older PCI video card. Got the SATA drivers for the MB chipset from Intel's website for use with the F6 option. Swapped the RAM with known good RAM. The hardware is: ECS P35T-A MB. 2GB 667MHz OCZ RAM. Q6600 CPU.

I'm getting the below error in thevent log: The Open Procedure for service "ASP.NET_2.0.50727" in DLL "C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_perf.dll" failed. Google offers a lot of possible 'involved' solutions. So, starting at the beginning... In Add/Remove programs I have... 1) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 2) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366) 3) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB947742) 4) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 I don't see an entry for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Just the SP2. Is the above the correct entries? Should I remove all and start over with .NET 2.0? thanks
