Re: Windows XP Professional SP3 2013/2014 [Support]
<t>Hey Thumper,<br/>
<br/>
When I choose to boot from my USB key, I get an error saying:<br/>
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<br/>
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll<br/>
Please re-install a copy of the above file."<br/>
<br/>
I used "ISO to USB" to make a bootable USB, and I am running Windows 7 at the moment.<br/>
<br/>
Do you have any clue how to fix this?<br/>
Thanks</t>

<t>Hi Thumper.<br/>
Thanks for xp.<br/>
First of all u said it has WMP11 but it doesn't. But I m glad about the thing that windows doesn't prompt fro WGA while installing wmp11.<br/>
Second after installing windows xp, the fonts are not visible as they should be they are hazy & irregular. Even the start button looks blur & all the fonts in chrome looks blur & wave like.<br/>
How can I correct this problem.<br/>
<br/>
One more request please release another win xpsp3 version which is complete in all sense since the support is ended. So a complete sp3 which has all the updates i.e. wmp11 , ie8 & updates of other utilities</t>

Re: Windows XP Professional SP3 2013/2014 [Support]
<r><QUOTE author="jak.bin2"><s>
That 'zip' file you say its ISO file, if you have installed any rar archive software like winrar or 7zip it will open ISO file.<br/>
<br/>
So, you dont need to create ISO because this file is already ISO file.<br/>
<br/>
Good luck.</r>

<t>Thumper,<br/>
Thanks a lot for the ISO file. I am facing some issue which even others have faced and there isn't any solution proposed till now in this thread. I searched the whole thread and couldn't find anything useful.<br/>
<br/>
To describe about the problem in installing XP:<br/>
<br/>
I am currently using Windows 7, I have used Rufus and created the bootable USB. When I put in the USB and restart the machine, I get all the screens where it says drivers are loading.. but then it stops at a place where it says the below thing<br/>
<br/>
Could not find any previous version of windows and asks for a CD to be put up in the drive or else quit the setup process.<br/>
<br/>
Any help would be highly appreciated. <br/>
<br/>
Thank you.</t>

Re: Windows XP Professional SP3 2013/2014 [Support]
<r>Hi Thumper,<br/>
<br/>
I have downloaded this XP image in this site tpb<br/>
<br/>
I was able to use 1 of the 3 SN in the text file included in the torrent file, I waited for it to install and when it got to the point of preparing installation (please see snapshot image below) it is asking again of the key... I am installing this using VMWare fusion since I have a MAC Book Pro laptop and I want to sandbox it first. I have tried all 3 SN's but it is saying as the wrong key entered.<br/>
<br/>
Could you please help to resolve this issue? Many thanks for your assistance on this...<br/>

Re: Windows XP Professional SP3 2013/2014 [Support]
<t>I'm trying to install Windows XP on a system that has Windows 7. The system will not allow me to do it, it says I have to remove Windows 7 first. How do I do that? Will the computer be able to run the CD I have for Windows XP, because when I insert the CD the autorun feature does not work. OR, where can I get another version of XP and keys?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks</t>
