Attempting to repair Windows installation...

[Michael Puig]

I am trying to upgrade my motherboard and processor to a
Windows XP Pro installation and keep getting the error
message "unregmp2.exe - entry point not found", "The
procedure entry point GETIUMS could not be located in the
dynamic link library MSDART.DLL."

Please, can anyone provide a solution, I've checked the KB
without success.

Thanks,

Michael R. Puig

When the problem occurs, press Shift +F10 to bring up the
command prompt. Then type taskmgr.exe in the DOS window
and press Enter. The Task Manager should be started. If
not, try to press C+Shift+ESC. In the Task Manager
program, select the error messsage window in the
application list and click "End Task". In the process
list, terminate the unregmp2.exe program. Exit the DOS
prompt window and resume the installation process.
