Changing the registry all you are doing is changing where it looks for the I386 folder. Instead of looking on the disk it looks on the hd.
It really should not affect anything.

OK with your concerns I would suggest borrowing a XP pro disk to do the steps.

Actually most likely it is the OS and it needs to be repaired.We (I) know its some driver in the kernel but who knows what program it could be too. We (I) know its some driver in the kernel but who knows what program it could be too.

Without the cd we can't do a Repair Installation though.

Most likely yesOh. Well would reformating and re-installing windows fix it? Just wondering cause I really can't do that because I don't have my drivers saved anywhere like my audio and video ect...
This is confusing me also but lets take a look at something to see if it will show us.EDIT: On a side note, I dont understand why my disc would be wrong. I have XP Media Center '05 which IS the disc I have. Thats what I used to install it last time. I don't know why its asking for XP Pro.
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3

This verifies you have what you say you have.
Strange, we can format and reinstall but before you do that we need to get all the drivers for you.
What is the make and model or is this a custom built?
If custom built what mobo do you have?
I can then find the drivers for the mobo.
If brand name i can look on manufacturers website for the drivers for you.
Well the crashes are a annoyance but the system will continue to work.
Eventually it will corrupt the OS where you will have to do something.
I have seen people go a year like this before they seeked helped.
Since you don't feel good about doing it yourself I would suggest making sure your important data is backed up before taking it to any shop.
As I stated a Repair Installation may take care of the issue but since it is saying you need a XP Pro disk I understand you don't have access to that.
If you by chance do borrow one then we can continue if you would like.
Which edition of Avira and check the updates for the date of the update see if it fits in with the date of the crash starting.
