wildbill411 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 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:LRetry 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 that is odd. you list of fixes should cover everything i can think of except copying the .DL_ file to the hard drive and pointing the installer there.other than that, im at a loss to explain it.
