I get the following message every 2 minutes:
"Files that are required for Windows to run properly are
unrecognized versions. To maintain stability, Windows
must restore original versions of these files."
"Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 CD
now."

I insert my Windows XP upgrade CD (from Win 98)and am told
it is the wrong CD.

Help! I don't know what to do next.
Thanks!
 
Try pointing it to the C:\i386 folder, if it exists. If that isn't
accepted, point it at the C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder. If
that doesn't work, run "sfc /scannow" from a command prompt -- it might
work properly.
