Wednesday, April 11, PM. My dad and I are still running off of the Widows 98 opperating system. We just recently decided that we should upgrade our old computer and gotten a hold of a Windows XP Home Edition Version The problem is when trying to introduce the new software into our computer, we got the message above and aren't able to properly finish the download of Windows XP Home Edition.
I tried to do some of the things that were suggested in the link that you had posted on this forum using the RUN program in my START menu , along with several other things like uninstalling and then attempting to reinstall. I've also tried restarting my computer in the middle of the process and taking the disc out and reinserting it into the computer , but they don't seem to work since I'm running off of a Windows 98 operating system at first instead of a Windows XP Home Edition opperating system.
When I try to look for these different things that are supposed to help correct the problem, my computer gives me popups that tell me these files don't exsist. Which is probably true, but is there something similar to them on Widows 98 that could correct this problem?
We would prefer that we can upgrade our computer to the Windows XP Home Edition without loosing the files we already have saved in our computer. We hope that you, or someone you know, would be able to help us. I was unsuccessful in finding a way to contact the Microsoft Tech Support, so even a easy way to do that would be helpful Thank you for taking the time to read this. It is much appresheated. Sincerely, Lauren H. Saturday, April 14, AM.
