Need help in understanding the error I am seeing.
1) Originally had the system configured using Window 2000. 2) Bought the full version of WIndows XP. 3) System has been running fine for a year or more suddenly started getting an error message asking me to insert my Window XP SP 2 and it says it is outputting the error to setuperr.log Initially couldn't find my original disks (have found them now) so when I pressed cancel it went, rebooted the system and XP ran a chkdsk on the system. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem or has anyone seen something like this? Thanks |

setuperr.log -This log file contains a list of errors that occurred during
installation and their severity (this log file should be 0 bytes in size if no errors occurred during installation). XP writes the setuperr.log file to the %systemroot% folder. Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK... %systemroot%\setuperr.log to see what the log sez. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
