    Every time I go to install XP on my laptop at around 30% through the install I get a bsod saying something along the lines of error with msimg32.dll and theres more but the bsod only flashes up and I cant read it. Anyone got any ideas?

    You're using an original media disk? Have you scanned your HDD using your old OS to ensure that there are no errors?

    The old OS is linux and i never got into it so wanted to switch back to XP. I had XP on it before but was missing drivers for networking and such so went to linux, but I now got a cd with the drivers I need for xp and wanted to try it again. Not sure what you mean by original media disk but ive used this same cd before to install xp.

    Is it an original Windows disk, or a copy?
