this is how the situation looks:
if i instal win xp sp2 when i restart, it simply freezes.
(i've worked about 30-40 hours on this)
here is what i have tried (and it's important to know)
most important:
i go SAFE MODE and it freezes having the last line on the screen about :
... ... windows\system32\drivers\agp440.sys
i've tried this :
i have an xpsp2 of 217 MB (released before the big and well known xpsp2 of 277 MB or something like that -i do have the last version of sp2)and i have installed it and luckyly it works. i say i'm lucky beacouse i think only a file or two are my problem and i also think that if i get the file (like agp440.sys) from the sp2 of 217 and put into the sp2 of 277 MB it will work or at least i can give a try.

so, does anybody have any sugestions or can sombody tell me how can I find what file should be loaded after agp440.sys
?????????????????????
i;m desperate (inspite of the fact that i use an ghost image of the partition for my tests)

P.S.: i've also tried win xp pro + sp2 (one of the latest)
and after the last restart of the instal wizard it also freezes (common problem).
I also have to say that the kits that i use are working well beacouse i have used them in countless situation with good results and they are used by many people.


It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.
Thanks for your attitude!
 
Hi i lost a file like you and could not do anything, but managed to get into my computer, inserted the windows XP disc and let it start let it run through when it got to the bit do you want to install or upgrade this time i tried upgrade, it done it ok this time, it only updated the mising files leaving my other work in tact, all i had to do was update the files. now my computer is up and running.

Telling you this in case you have not tried this way.

See my own website at backed up by all updates, and sercurities.

There's a typo in the URL. ...Selfbuilt_coNputer should be coMputer.
 
I wondered who'd spot that first…
