I have a June 2006 Windows XP Pro (WXPP) with SP2 Version 2002 SP3 build 2600
installed on my system. Somehow I picked up some viruses, which took me about
2 weeks to remove using AVG Internet Security V8, Spybot SD ver. 1.6.0,
Malwarebytes v. 1.28, and RemoveIt Pro Enterprise v.4. I am not sure that
they are totally removed yet, but I am trusting my antivirus/spyware/malware
programs to catch them on future scans.
There are still some corrupted WXPP files that need to be replaced. When I
insert my WXPP disk in my drive, I get the following message: "Setup cannot
continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the
version on the Cd." Also the message gives states: "To erase the newer
version and install the older version, restart the computer, boot from this
CD, and follow the instructions for a new installation."
Obviously, I do not wish to reinstall WXPP, and have to reinstall all of my
programs and the settings again, all I want to do is to repair the present
installation. I am not proficient enough to run the DOS command line repair
console to search and replace the corrupted files.
What can I do to avoid having to do a new install. If I am forced to do the
new install, I suppose the best route to take would be to reformat my C:
drive and do a clean install.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
