I just installed Windows XP Pro upgade on a Dell Inspiron B130. With about 19
minutes left in the installation, the following errors came up:
bluhill.jp_
sunset.jp_
waterlil.jp_
winter.jp_
beethov9.wm_
newstrys.wm_
When these came up, I had the option to retry or cancel. If I retried, the
problem would come back up again, so I elected to cancel. Now Internet
Explorer isn't working properly. If I try to go home, another screen will try
to open up and then locks up the computer. If I try to open a favorite,
another screen will try to open and then locks up the computer. The only way
I can close those screens is through the Task Master.
It appear that I took a computer that was working perfectly before and
ruined part of it's functions.
I have done this to other computers, but never had this problem.
Help please.

The upgrade didn't work properly and you will need to run it again, perhaps as a repair install.

Was this a new install or an upgrade, and if so over what?

If you encounter the same errors, you may need to clean the disk or CD drive, or replace one or the other. Also, this kind of error can be caused by hardware failure, such as memory.
