I've reinstalled it 3 times, with downloads from different sites.

It keeps giving me a message saying it's confused.

I never had a problem with the old installer.

It will not open the program

The log is:

Attempting to initialize common controls.

Accessing filesystem...

AutoPatcher 5.6 loaded the filesystem.

Also, why only torrents?

I have to web search to find a full core download.

Thanks

Just a thought, but out of memory = too little system ram or too many programs running there? (I see a full system tray)

Try booting clean (run msconfig and use diagnostic mode) and then try.

O no

I'm having the same problem

there got to be the other way

I'm not going to reinstal windows

It's not that big of a deal, just boot your system from the Win XP CD & follow the prompts.

Follow the prompts to install a fresh copy of XP until it shows you that you already have XP installed & asks if you want to repair it.

You'll lose the installed Updates & MIGHT have to reinstall your printer software & some "tweaks"-- like if you changed your virtual memory.

Another way to try it is to insert your install CD & then in the "run" (start-run ) box type:

D:\I386\winnt32.exe /unattended

"D" being the drive letter of your CD

Doing it this way "upgrades" XP without asking you for your serial number & makes less changes, but if your system is corrupted enough, this won't fix it. :wacko:

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
