Cannot install windows game component

I am unable to install the windows games within the "Accessories and Utilities" I uninstalled them awhile back now I want to use them.

When I go to install (check the games box and click 'next') I get prompted to install my XP pro disk and I do.

Here is the window prompting me to do so.

So I put the disk in and hit enter ok etc.

I then get this error/window:L

Retry is worthless. I then try browsing for the file it is asking for and can visibly see it:

But selecting it just brings me back to the previous window.

I have tried:

2 different XP discs,

installing from a usb drive that has the i386 folder,

different dvd drives,

different ide cables,

I took my overclock off,

my memory passes memtest for 3 passes,

the windows hotfix : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884018/EN-US/

Any ideas?

I am contemplating trying to do a xp repair, but I am not ready to reformat so I want to stay away from this option unless I can do so while being relatively assured of keeping my current HardDrive contents etc.

TIA
