Initialy thought it nite be some kinda virus so i reformated it again using the Seagate Disk Manager...and tried to install it again but in vain...could it be in the BIOS Setup or some failing hardware.......please help...

? What is it doin when your playing Splinter Cell.

? Does the game reboot the system about 5 minutes in the game?

I had that problem and fixed it by re-partioning the disk.

Managed to do it...swapped installers in the middle of the installation process...alls done, up and running..anyway thanks for the input guys..

what does changing the installers mean ?

I started the installation with a winxp pro cd, along the process it'll come to a point where theyd prompt you to confirm hardware settings. That is where i changed the cd with another with sp1 and continued till its up and running.

was that to get better driver support ?

or was it to do with CD not working right ?

It was related to the subject of my first post 'error loading kdcom.dll. error code 4' while installing winxp pro. I've read through related threads posted in this forum and all seemed to narrow down to "scratched CD or pirated CD". I've installed the os on a few systems and all seemed fine, till the moment it hada happen on one particular pc. i mingled through bios to see if theres anything irregular, but i dont see any.

im pretty sure that you can burn copies of your Windows and Office CDs ....

actually it is a burnt copy, nevertheless i managed to get over. coughing up doughs fpr original hasnt been my idea all along.
