Hallo Jaclaz, reading what I wrote now is indeed a bit complex.The Xp I tried to install is a cd iso that used to be on my (now defunct) laptop and was fully functional.I folowed the instructions in MS virtual PC and the install started but stopped with the message ""CPQarray.sys is corrupt".I tried VMplayer which has a ëasy install"for MS OS's ,again it started to install and stopped with the same or similar error message.I have tried also to install onto a preformatted laptop with no OS and again get the same error message.The odd thing is that I never had this problem on my old laptop an older toshiba designed for XP,one thing may be important my desktop has 4Gb memory installed and I know that XP can't use more than 4GB. Anyway thanks for having a look at my mail.I will see if I can borrow a copy of XP from my neighbour and try that,I will let you know what happens. brian

Hallo all, I have a desktop and a laptop both HP machines,both presently running win7-64. I want to install XP on both machines ( yes I know about win7-xp) in particular the laptop i want to use with car routes/maps and the software /hardware is primarily XP (32) based with often no win7 driver support. I have tried using virtual PC ,VMplayer and vrtual box each time I get the same message something like CPQarray.sys is corrupt. This is somewhat similar to a posting back in december 2006 see except mijn is cpqarray.sys (i cant remember if the letters were capitals or not),there is also some comment on th MS support pages relating to the first 1024 cylinders but I don't see the relevance. from trawling the web it looks as though this is a HP problem but as there is no reference on the hp website that doesn't help either. I am only a longtime user of Win and have no programme knowledge,does anyone know how to solve this problem thanks desperate Brian

Hallo all, my problem is that I have a good wifi signal as indicated by two different wifi adaptors (Using inSSIDer) but am unable to connect to the net neither FF or IE or thunderbird make contact.I suspect that I have a damaged or missing process for wifi-internet because I can internet using my wired lan.Any suggestions where I should look,I am no "geek"but an experienced user,I also have process explorer to see the "visible" processes but don't what all of them are. brian PS I have seen many such reports on google but no solutions generally. I forgot to say I temporarily disabled firewall and antivirus to no avail.
