For some reason I cant install Windows X64 or WIndows XP32bit on my laptop at all. It has an AMD64 Athlon CPU with 1GB ram, ATI video card. Every time during windows install I get .dll errors and I can never finish the install. The installation use to get to 95% then give me file errors, but now im at 5% and I get the dll errors. The CD I am using is perfectly fine without any scratches. I havent used this laptop in a long time. It just sat in my closet. Anyone know how to fix this problem because I would love to use this thing again???


BTW: I have reseated the memory, HD and CPU. I'm totally lost with this problem. I just dont get it.

Thanks
 
[Testing the RAM]
Download Memtest+ v2.10 or whatever the latest version is, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Let Memtest+ run for at least three hours on each stick of RAM separately as well as test the RAM all together. Go for a full 24 hours if you want to be completely sure that the RAM is not a problem. If you start seeing errors, than your RAM is defective or you have incorrect settings for the RAM.

[Testing the Hard drive]
Download the CD image of Hitachi Drive Fitness Test, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Test the hard drive and see if any problems are found. DFT will run on most manufacturers' hard drives. Alternatively, you can use Seagate's SeaTools for DOS to test a Seagate or Maxtor drive. For a Western Digital drive, you could use Data Lifeguard Tools for DOS to test a Western Digital drive.
