-- The computer boots from floppy disk, so using a different computer I downloaded the setup boot disk 6 disk set from Microsoft, saved the file and burned it to CD, then I copied to the appropriate 6 floppy disks. I followed all the instructions for the reformat, etc. I used the original CD for Windows XP SP1 and things were going well until I received the message that "clspack.exe, javacypt.dll, javaperm.hlp, javaprxy.dll, javart.dll, javasec.hlp, jdbgmgr.exe, jview.exe, msawt.dll, msjava.dll, msjdbc10.dll, nt5java.inf, vmhelper.dll, vjview.exe, dx3j.dll, jit.dll files could not be loaded. I went ahead with the install. So far, things look ok, but no sound at all. Never had this problem on original or subsequent installs. Same disk, same computer. Can someone give me a little advice or assistance on this matter, please? Have not yet been able to get online with that computer, so do not know how IE or other applications might work. Am using the other computer for that at the moment. I sure miss the sounds! Thanks.

Problems copying files or corrupted files during installation are most often caused by defective, incompatible, or sub-standard hardware; in order of likelihood, either RAM, the hard drive, or the motherboard. On very rare occasions the CD drive or installation CD is the problem.

Start with testing the RAM. You might try MemTest86: http://www.memtest86.com/ It's free. Then you can download and use the hard drive maufacturer's diagnostic utility to test the hard drive. If both RAM and hard drive test out clean, check with the motherboard manufacturer for any diagnostic utilities.
