i have recently been getting warnings that files are
unrecognised or unavailable, and need reinstalling but for
some reason when i enter the cd it says the version of xp
can not be used as i have a newer version on my system.
even though it is the same copy of xp i used to install it
in the first place........... any help on this subject
would be most apritiated

It may be looking for files that were updated with a service pack. Redirect
the prompt to your ...\<windows folder>\ServicePackFiles\i386\ folder.
