The so-called blue screen of death is your friend. Without it, you would have a much more difficult time figuring out what went wrong.

Post back with the number (0x000...) and/or title (LOOKS_LIKE_THIS) of the error.

Hi all,
I am having problems with my win XP Pro installation or at least I think so? I think this is so because I have been experinencing the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSD) lately and the information on the BSD informs me that the culprit is: Win32.sys! So, am I correct in thinking that my system files are becoming corrupted and this is leading to the occurences of the BSD?

I therefore tried to REPAIR Win XP Pro by using my original system disc to reinstall (repair) Win XP Pro but I find that I cannot do this because I get the error message that the Win XP Pro is older than the one installed (which is obvious because SP2 + all Updates have been installed) and that I can do a full reinstall of Win Xp Pro which will overwrite all my existing files etc.

I know there must be a way to repair Win XP Pro system files without having to do a full reinstallation but I cannot remeber how to to it. Can anybody help me with this problem or come up with another reason for the occurences of the BSD?

Regards
Gerryw
