If I DL windows XP home ed. util. set-up from MS site, can....

I just unzip it and do a re-install? I have a screwed up wifi-enabling file that shows up in a runtime error message. It is called: C:\Program Files\ANI\ANIWZCS2 Service\WZCSLDR2.exe

Im told a reinstall of op. system will solve my problem.

The setup file I have just saved to disc from MS site is is "Windows XP Home Edition Utility: Setup Disks for Floppy Boot Install"


Oh yeah, do I have to reload service packet 2, also?
Thanks for any help.

1. Are you sure this is not a virus or trojan?
I Googled that file name and got this

I tried a reinstall of Windows 98 a few years ago and ended up reformating my hard drive because it didn't work.

Good Luck!

2. It is a proprietary program but I have backed off from a re-install.
How can I seriously take advice from someone reading a script with no real sense of the problem? Bottom line -- spend more money on better hardware/software and you won't have to deal with such b.s. Actually, I think someone just posted their virus scan log on various virus detector sites and that is why that virus page keeps coming up. Thanks for response though. Happy computing.

3. those disks are not what you need
Do you have a Windows XP CD.

That is what you need.

What you downloaded was a way to create floppy disks to boot from for those who can not boot from cd. You still need the cd doing this process.

If you have a name brand computer you may or may not have an XP Cd. Check what came with the computer.

If you have a custom built, you should have the XP cd.

There is no way to download the entire XP install package from Microsoft. MS does not do that.
