installing xp missing .dll files

[will.j.savage]

Hello folks,

 

I'm trying to reinstall windows xp. However whilst windows is copying the files to my hard drive in order to begin setup i keep getting a missing .dll file warning. It also says your xp disk may be damaged. I have tried two versions of xp and get the same message so it cant be the CD?. I'm missing quite a few .dll files but some are listed here.....sprb0404.dll sprb0405.dll etc.

 

I get the option to skip the missing .dll files but then windows doesnt work.

 

Any ideas?

Sounds like it could be your memory try this -

You will need a working computer to burn it to cd.

if it is our memory try downloading memtest a very good free usefull programme thats scans your memory for read and write errors.
