    After running I get the attached messages. The red shield is because ISC will not run. I also have no sound on BBC iplayer. I'm going to attempt the restore.

    Restored iplayer sound back can't run films from DVD using VLC opensource palyer. The whole system seems unstable now, System tray loads randomly and not all icons appear. Games crash after running for an hour with no probs. Ocaisional browser crashes. Getting to the point where I'm going to bite that bullet and blow the old OS away

    I've managed to sort most of the probs out by starting again and reinstalling bios then chipset then netoworks first PSA DX diag.

    The only yellow ? I have is against something called scan.

    The only prob I'm having is downloading xp SP3, every file I download errors with corrupt by the time it starts to unpack. I have an iso download and will try that option next. I think I got it covered now thanks for all your help its been much appreciated. You can close this thread if you want.

    Do the Windows Repair tool again, and then try SP3. :)
