Hi!
I'm having problems with reinstalling my Windows XP Pro.
I thought it would be good to reinstall it, but when I
try to do this I get a error message that says that the
version that i'm trying to install is older then the
version that i allready have installed on my system, with
is realy odd beacuse it is the same cd that i installed
from from the beggining

Becauser you have upgraded to SP1 or SP2 since the original install and
you're trying to go backwards.

You will need to uninstall SP2 run setup from Windows. You can boot from the
original XP CD and do a repair install, but you will need to apply all
updates and service packs not included on the CD used for the repair
install.
I suggest you create a slipstreamed XP CD with SP2 included, then you can
install from Windows or boot from the CD to run setup.

I am doing a complete reload. The problem I am having is that a lot of the
net*** file fail to load. If I select to skip these files, I envariably
receive a fatal error and looking at the log I am unable to decifer them. Any
suggestions?
