After putting off buying a copy of XP, I gave in. I
purchased a copy. I came home and attempted to install it.
Push came to shove and I ended up reformatting 3 times,
loading 98 twice, and pulling every chip, card and/or
drive in varying combinations. Nothing works. I get an
evil 'Blue Screen' with errors like:
0x0000050 (0xF9FFE14, 0x00000000, 0x80892773, 0x00000000)

I have gotten close to 10 different messages along these
lines. I have treid to upgrade from 98, from ME, and from
scratch. The store won't take the program back. I need
help.
