missing "viamraid.sys" error

[Guest Chambersburg_PA]

Greetings,

Hope this message finds each of you well.

 

When trying to re-install Win XP SP2 and attempting to "upgrade" to Win XP

SP2 from Win XP SP2(as a means of trying to repair Win XP SP2 components I

get a missing "viamraid.sys" error saying that the setup of Win XP will no

terminate.

 

After installing several programs I've found that the screen-saver, and

power-downs/shut-offs no longer work, and I'm having a difficult time traking

down the cause.

 

It seems certain that there is something running in the background, but what?

My computer is a SystemMax AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Proc. 4200+, 2.21 GHz

with 3.0 GB of RAM

I've installed the following:

Cyberlink Power2Go, but it isn't actively running (nothing in the tray)

Mustek USB 1200UB Plus which isn't actively running either

Microsoft Works Suite 2006

QuickTime not actively running in the background

Chess Master 9000 not running

Rouge Spear

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi (Music)

..NET 2.0

 

On the surface it doesn't seem like such a big deal, but am left wondring if

this problem could lead to other bigger problems or perhaps be indicateive of

some larger-but-unknown(or undetected) problem.

 

How can I fix these bad Win XP SP components.

 

 

 

Hope you can help.

Hello,

 

Looks like the VIA Raid Driver. Try downloading the drivers from

http://www.viaarena.com and reinstalling them. After that, try performing the

installation of SP2 again.
