Cannot install windows xp pro

[Tom]

I have windows xp running but it reboots frequently using
windows media player and internet explorer.

i tried reinstalling windows xp pro.

got error messages could not copy confmsp.dll,
adeskerr.ht_, sspdpsrv.dll

continued anyway.

installation hangs up at 37 minutes remaining or less.
got as far as 17 minutes remaining.

now boots up in dual boot mode, continuing installation
or old version of xp with same problems.

I just want to wipe it clean and start over. any
suggestions?
