[{the_crow}]

Can anyone tell me why do these errors occur?because the happen a lot in my XP...i have to re-install XP almost every month because it starts to be completly unstable...lot of errors like notpad or wordpad can't open because it says its not valid win32 aplication...i have to download several times drivers for nvidia gforce because it gives me package for the web error...and if i dont disable in regedit windows file protection it's always apeering in the screen the message to insert XP cd....

Windows File Protection is probably appearing for a reason.

When you reinstall, do you format?

If you are having problems opening some items, it could be a virus.

Do you have an up to date virus checker. Your hard drive may be failing.

Could be bad RAM.

WHat kind of system do you have?

yes i format the HDD..so it cannot be a virus..only..if i had virus in the bios...and if i had it it would clean me all the settings and stuff like that...The HDD has a couple of years...and it would be strange both 10GB and 20GB being damaged at the same time and with the same erros...i have 2cards of ram 1 of 64mb and another with 256mb...and i have a P4 1,7mhz.....and i have another fantastic bug that happened coulple of last days..my old keyboard started failing so i used an old keyboard but not those using a serial port neither usb...but i used a piece that can be inserted in the old keyboard and that i can insert in ps/2 like the current keyboards...and the thing is...when i switch to that keyboard already runing the windows it works fine...but after resarting windows for the third ou fourth time...windows not even start...it gives a msg that the HDD is invalid or someting like that...what about that? this pc is the stupidiest thing i've ever put hands on....

If I were to guess the casue of all you troubels I would look at your RAM.
You said you have a stick of 64 and a stick of 256.

They are probably two differnet types of RAM. Pull the 64 out and run Windows to see how that goes.

If there are 2 different types/kinds of RAM in the System it can corrupt files; then Windows File Protection can appear.
