Robert,

Thanks for the answer. I re-installed my XP home with using my original DELL
Operating System CD which includes Service Pack 1a.

Do you know what I have to do?


Try some of the other things I suggested?
E.g. XPsp1a may be a base service pack level for you
and you still might have KB842773 (or its equivalent, if any)
as a result of what all else Dell have integrated into your CD.
I'm guessing that your CD is a slipstreamed collection of updates,
not just the base XPsp1a.


I emailed the error code to microsoft and
waiting for them to find me a solution.

Must I re-install my Windows XP again this time with a CD that includes the
latest version of Service Packs?


No. Your CD is a starting point for the continuum of "all maintenance".
It doesn't really matter where that is because there is always going to be
something else that has to be added separately after that point.

BTW the XP CD contains the XP Support Tools as an optional install.
It includes bitsadmin but I'm not sure whether that level of the tool would
be a useful as the XPsp2 version. I also don't know how compatible
the new version would be in the older OS but it looks as if the option
that I mentioned might only be available in the newer version.
