XP installation freezes File needed

[Guest]

HI
I have been trying to fix my computer and chose to re-install, However
during the 34th minute of installation a was prompted to install VIAAGP1.SYS.
My computer freezes and I cannot load any files or continue in any way. I am
stuck and have no idea how I am to continue. Even if I get the file I have no
way that I know of to install it.

Since VIAAGP1.SYS is a driver for your motherboard (processor to AGP
controller), I'd say that you have hardware problems. If you were
having a lot of problems with your computer (and apparently you were or
else why try to reinstall?), then they probably stemmed from failing
hardware. You can't fix failing hardware with software (Windows).

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
