- No the XP upgrade doesnt run. The laptop doesnt boot from the cd. I explore through he cd drive and selected the "Install Windows XP" option. But after collecting the data the laptop restarts and comes the option windows xp/xp setup. I select xp setup but the screen goes black and a white cursur  blinks on left top and it stays on. I waited for 45 minutes but nothing happens. Also the problem of "corrupt or incompatible language id" persists when I click on IE. I cant surf the net. I am getting the problem on IE7 and IE6 also.
Please help

Clarification Request

Posted by MEM-TEK on Apr 30, 2009

I guess that I will submit this as a clarification request since I don't know if any of these ideas might work:

First, what is the current version of your OS -- Windows 98 or what?

Second, is the XP upgrade CD designed for the same locale as your currently installed OS version?

Third, did you try manually running the XP Upgrade Advisor utility first? To do so, note that Windows XP Setup automatically runs the Upgrade Advisor tool when you upgrade from a previous Windows operating system to Windows XP. You can also run the Upgrade Advisor tool manually by clicking Check System Compatibility on the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP page that appears after you insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. Perhaps manually running the Upgrade Advisor Tool and uninstalling any programs which it says are incompatible with XP may then allow the upgrade to successfullly run.

Fourth, it appears that you uninstalled IE7 and now are using IE6. Thats fine, and this actually was a pretty good idea since the XP SP2 upgrade CD will be expecting to find IE6 installed on your computer.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts for possible things to check and to try.

Okay, did the XP upgrade run at all, or did the computer simply restart in order to try to run the XP upgrade CD?
