Windows XP Startup Problem

[gfX]

Argh..

Bad news here, Im into 25 Minutes left into the Installation and it came up with a COM+ Setup Error

It says a bunch of stuff and at the bottom it says

the specified procedure could not be found.
failed to load the library c:\windows\system32\comuid.dll

My friend said it sounds like the Hard Drive is bad, and that error isnt good.

The only thing I can do is hit Ok but what exactly does that mean, is that bad?

EDIT: I went ahead and hit Ok, and the installation is still running, 13 Minutes left so we'll see if that error effected anything

Ok guys, I reformatted my computer with no problems. Now, I need help with something else. I'm trying to get internet access, and so I found the Drivers and utilitys disk and I isntalled that. But now I need to know what driver to install, My router is a Dell TrueMobile 2300..

Under my Network Drivers it says

Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller Rev: A03
Dell TrueMobile 1300 Internal 802. 11b/gMPCI Rev: A01
Dell TrueMobile 1300 Internal 802. 11b/gMPCI Rev: A06
Dell TrueMobile 1400 Internal Dual-Band WLAN Card Rev: A05

And I don't know which one to install.
Help is needed!

Thanks,

That would be the CD you need. Just make sure to do windows Update when it is finished with the repair.

I would say that the Broadcom is the drivers needed for the desktop that is what i have in mine. That is for wired access. For wireless I dont know off hand. It depends on if you used a wireless card form Dell or if you installed one yourself.

I just restarted my computer,

At first when it was loading up, I saw it said "Loading Windows 98" or something like that, I was like WTF?

Then, It came up with this testing screen and I have to run all of these different tests or something and I dont know how to get back to my desktop.

Whats going on?

 

[KSoD]

Is it doing like a scan disk test? I never heard of this before. Did you do a fresh install of XP?

 

[gfX]

Right now its doing like Keyboard and mouse tests, and Color tests, and Disk and Audio tests.

I have NO idea what this is, and yes I did a fresh install of XP
