I've installed a second OS, so now have two Win XP installations on the same
drive. The first won't work. The second, which I just installed, works fine.
I tried replacing the Kernel32.dll file, but no luck.
I'm not exactly sure how to "run set-up defaults", but I'll give that a shot
now and let you know what happens. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear
them.
Thanks,
Jeff

I've tried running the WinXP installation disk to repair the damaged OS, but
I got an error when I tried.
Any ideas?

If this is the first time you've sseen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In
particular, run a memory check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing
video adapters.
Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or
remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove
or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced
Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

The new installation of Windows XP works fine, so not sure if it's a
hardware problem or what. Anyone have any ideas?

I was running Norton System Works on that OS, don't know what version it
is/was of Norton Anti-Virus. The program doesn't appear to be in its
directory and I'm not entirely sure what happened to it. I believe I
uninstalled it before I installed Zone Alarm. Anyway, I don't think it's a
hardware problem because the second XP installation is working alright.
If you have any further ideas, please let me know.
Thanks for your help and I'll post here as I learn more.
