Hi All,

I have got a strange problem when I setup Windows XP on my computer. I
kept on getting this error:

Setup cannot copy the file: dbghelp.dll
....

When I use ESC to skip the file, all the files beyond dbghelp.dll are
not copiable!

Firstly, I thought my installation CD is corrupted, so I use the
original CD on the installation. I still got this same error.

Then, I tried to install Windows Server 2003. I got the same error
again! What's so special of this file dbghelp.dll?! I really don't
understand.

I tried the same CDs on another computer, they work just fine!

Any suggestions please?
Thanks a lot!
