Guest Joe Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I have an HP Pavilion desktop that came with Windows 98 Second Edition. I had upgraded to XP about two years ago. About one month ago my system kept restarting by itself. I installed my system recovery disks to reformat my hard drive. After re formating my hard drive, my copy of XP will not download. I keep on getting error messages that the program has performed and illegal operation and will be shut down, or missing dll. Any suggestions? -- Joe S.
