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.
i would of thought vga.sys was something to do with graphics drivers or something like that. is it a copied version of windows, and have you formatted it or upgrading (i would format) + whats ya pc spec. hope this helps post backe Dave :good:

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:
