    Can anyone tell me what this erroe message means that i get when i try to install XP:

    File Vga.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 3138 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\setup.c.

    I tried it a couple times and it gets hung up at the same spot. Please help.

    Yeah if it's a copied disc it sounds as though that file is corrupted.

    I'd try using the actual cd and it should alleviate the problem.

    yea using a copied version cud be a problem try installing the compact version and this might bypass this particular file if not try and get a different copy hope this helps Dave :good:
