Here is more information.
After a format and reinstallation of XP, I reinstalled my printer software
just to avoid a lot of nagging. There was no problem. Of course, my optical
drive was working correctly. Next I removed bundled apps that I don't need.
Then I reinstalled and updated my security software.
Finally, I went to Microsoft Update for updates. What I got was SP3. I let
it be downloaded and installed. It seemed to be OK. Windows subsequently
found additional updates which I had installed. It was after the last of the
additional update installations that I got the error message noted in my
first post.
However, when I tried to install additional software, I found that XP failed
to recognize my installation CD: hence, no installation. I tried two more
times with the same outcome.
The more I think about this mess the more I wonder If SP3 or a subsequent
update caused the problems. Is this plausable?
Is there any way of undoing an update(s), or might I have to reinstall XP
again?
