Howdy and welcome to GTG:

Is the install cd you are using the one that came with your laptop or did it come with a different computer?

Did the laptop come with XP?

What are you using for a key code and activation?

Is the cd you are using one you downloaded from the net?

it is a good windows xp pro disk.no it is not a downloaded disk i went back in and got all the mess it is giving me not sure this will help you but here is what it says word for word

a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer
if this is the first time you seen this stop error screen restart your computer.if this screen appears again
follow these steps/qt i tried this 4 or 5 times to be sure and same screen apeared/
chck to be sure you have adequate disk space,if a driver identified in this stop message disable the driver or check with manufaturer for driver updates/qt there was no driver id in the message/
try changingvideo adaptor
check with your hardware vendor for bios updates,disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing.
if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components.restart your computer press f8 to select advanced
setup options and then select safe mode

technical information
***stop:0x0000007e (0xc0000005,0xf748e0bf,oxf78da208,dxf78d9f08
pci sxs adress f748eobf base at f7487000,date stamp 3b7d855c

Going to try and help for sure but you never answered a couple inquiries I made.

What are you using for a key code (install code) ?

Did the laptop come with XP pre-installed (make and model)?

Is the cd an OEM (came with a different computer)?

Have you used this cd on that particular system before?

Almost sounds like the cd may be damaged and is not loading the pci files.

i bought this puter in nov 2006 its not very old my daughter was downloading some music from some were and got a bad virus i never could get rid of it.i ordered this puter with xp pro because some of the programs i needed would not run on vista.to make a long story short a friend of mine had a good copy of windows xp home.
so i formatted and put home xp on it.everthing went smooth no problems other then on start up it ask me if
i wanted to boot home or pro you just had to click home dont know why it ask that ever time i loaded the puter but it was not really a big deal was kinda like there was 2 windows but if you clicked on pro it said something about the wrong path or something just thought i tell you that hoping maybe that will help you thx
