'could not open key:UNKNOWn\lNETcTLS.lNET.1\CLSID verifiy you have sufficient access to that key'

I posted a hijackthis log only a short while ago (4days~)
In that forum and it was said to be clean.

One cause of the 1909 error is messed up Windows File Associations.

Download Deckard's Association File Tool (DAFT) and save it to your desktop.

* Double click on it to run.
* Read the disclaimer and click OK.
* Click on the Scan button.
* If it finds faulty file associations, they will appear in red beside a checkbox. If this occurs, just place a checkmark (tick) in the boxes in question.
* Click the Fix button.

Thanks.
Ran that and it fixed two things.
Reg and something else, but i had never heard of it before.
All problems still happening though...

Ztruker is indisposed so I will be helping you

try a repair on xp...lowdown is here...

I don't have the windows CD, i bought it from pc world and they didn't give me one.

borrow one from a friend or coworker...it has to be the same flavor...if you have xp home with service pack 2..it has to be the same

Ok i'll have to buy one. Thanks.

thats a wasted $100.00...ask around ...somebody you know has one...

I need to buy a new pc anyway though and having the disk would be a good use :}
I have the CD KEY on the side of my PC but need the disk..

it would be great if you build a new system...if you buy a complete system it will have it already installed unless you get one with vista...then you could install xp to the new system and have a dual boot system

Nah,
Im buying the components seperate and building them myself, so i was expecting to end up buying winxp unless i could get my hand on the CD, i dont trust an iso on a torrent so meh.
If i end up going prebuilt i'll go with beastcomputers
