Ok im trying to upgrade my moms dumb computer to windows xp... Shes got windows 98 right now, and xp was only $99 so she decided she wanted to upgrade until she is able to get a new computer. Ok well this thing keeps popping up that says "the option to upgrade will not be available at this time because setup was unable to load the file f:\1368\win9xupg\w95upg.Dll" "a device attatched to the system is not functioning.".... And then another one pops up after I click ok that says " setup cannot continue because upgrade functionality is disabled and your copy of windows only allows upgrades"... What in the world does all this bs mean!?! Ok with my moms computer, she has a compaq presario and it has a cd-rom drive thing, and it has a recordable drive thing so then you can burn cds... Well the cd-rom one doesnt work, and it hasnt since we got the computer. So we use the recordable drive for cd-rom crap and it works just fine. It has always worked with installing things before and worked just fine with everything else too. But could this be the problem? Grr is this computer always going to suck? Or is this problem with the disc since we never had a problem like this before? Lol do you even know anything what this crap could possibly mean? You seem to know ~alot~ about computers so I hope you can help me once again since im dumb lol.
