When trying to upgrade from Home to Pro, i 1st encountered the 34 minute
problem, i overcame this with disconnecting hardware devices.
My next and larger problem, of which i have searched the internet for an
answer is this;
About 28 minutes remaining into the install, (upgrade), & when installing
start menu stage begins i get the error message "E:/I386/can't find
****.dll_" The stars there are because there are many many files missing and
not just dll extensions. (you can see the files they just don't work)
So i tried running it on a different cd drive, no luck
I came to find from research it may be due to windows not recognising the
"_" so i re-burnt the installation disc in a DOS ISO format (mode 1), guess
what no luck!
I can't exit the setup as such, just skip the whole file section (by
clicking "no" on "continue setup"), so i have ended up with a booting and
half working version of XP Pro, i can't connect to secured wireless networks,
can't even open the windows firewall, USB drives aren't recognised.
Quite allot of these problems i thought could be service pack related, but
i've hit a dead end not, Please any idea's you have are great! Deadlines
soon, i need this computer running properly.
Other problems caused by the bad install (that can't be repaired either,
just same errors);
Windows Media Player crashes once open
Internet Explorer opens then anything you type in opens mozilla.window
(meaning i can't reconnect to the windows update site as thath only runs in
IEexplorer?!?!?! )
HelP!
