if ur computer just wont work right i would just completely restore it...restoring your computer will take it back to its factory condition meaning everything that is on it will be deleated...to restore, shut down your computer, hold F11 till it starts beeping then release, select: advanced options then select the option revering to factory conditions and go through the steps. please note that this mat not work for a mac or anything below windows XP GOOD LUCK

I would suggest download from file sharing sites since you already have the genuine xp license.
