I pop in the Windows XP SP3 disc and initiate the install.

The installation runs flawlessly but upon loading windows and going into the control panel issues begin.

When I try to open User Accounts I get the following error...

-----

Internet Explorer Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 4
Char: 1
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\nusrmgr.cpl/nusrmgr.hta

-----

I can hit yes and still access user accounts, but I'm worried about system stability as this error reoccurs every time I attempt to access it. I noticed that every time I opened User Accounts a process started called mshta.exe...

If I kept opening User Accounts multiple instances would launch. It got to the point where there were fifteen copies of it running. I checked my other computer running Windows XP SP3 and could not replicate this result.

Sigh...I'm now at a complete loss. I installed Windows XP SP3 without ANY modifications and the error is STILL showing up. So it's almost as if it has to do with the hardware of my new desktop? Could it be a BIOS option causing issues with XP?

Videocard: Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 920
Mainboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P
Memory: 4GB DDR2 800
Soundcard: Creative Inspire T3100
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 700W

Any tips, tricks or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I get this error constantly at work, even after fresh installs, and it has never caused an error that I know of.
 
Well, I started to go into a description of what .HTA files are (basically they are trusted HTML files that the system allows IE to run without any limitations), and how you might have a file infected by malware.

Just to double-check my answer though, I did a little bit of poking around in Google and found this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;886617

Apparently this is a known issue. There are 2 solutions that might work: disable script errors in IE (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced), or possibly by right-clicking the icon and selecting Open (which may cause it to open without an error message).

Well the malware/virus possibility is definitely out of the question, as it does this constantly on a fresh Windows XP SP3 source straight from MSDN that passes the hash check.

So I guess the general consensus is to just ignore the error and move forward with the install? (Those two solutions don't seem to be working for me on the desktop rig mentioned)

If it doesn't cause any stability issues or related issues I guess I can just safely ignore it?

Thanks for your help!

You must of missed my first post. I have 650 computers at work. I constantly get this error message. It has never once caused an issue. I think your single pc should be just fine since I have a slightly higher percentage chance to see something go wrong with it.
 
XP SP3 was fine on all of our company computers. It was Net Framework 3.5 SP1 that broke a few of our laptops and caused authentication in Citrix's logon screen to be delayed by 15 seconds. Methinks Microsoft didn't test 3.5 SP1 very well. 3.5 pre-SP1 was fine though.
 
Install Windows 7, problem solved...
