Without the XP install disk there is not a lot you can do. You should be able to use any XP CD providing it is the right version (home, pro) OEM or retail.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Try running Windows Updates and see if that help. Click start/all programmes/Windows Update.

yeah i knew if i didnt have the disk iam i really cant do anything but can someone tell me how to go in the registry for windows installer and somehow register it again because i think i did that once and it fixed it for a short time for me to install a program. Anyone have any ideas how to do that? Thanks
