I have had to reinstall Win XP Pro on my wife's computer. During the installation I received a long error message beginning with "sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processing....". However it did give me the option to continue, which I did. Upon completing the installation, Win XP was unstable and spontaneously rebooted until I finally shut it down.
I decided to start from scratch again and repartitioned, reinstalled, etc, but I got the same message.
I also ran a Repair from the repair console but it didn't seem to help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Gary

Is this the first time you've used the XP disk? You could try another XP disk and use her key.

Yes the disk is good. I've been working on it all day and I think it may be a stick of bad memory.

I agree with wusy,

Run memtest86 and prime95 to see if you get errors. If you cant get past and the setup it is usually a hardware issue.
