xp-pro install. "windows explorer" error

[BadNewsBears]

Same disc ive been using forever
on a frineds puter.
has 800mhz duron
512mg ram

Im thinking processor...

I turn it on. posts fine. login to windows. then 10 or so seconds of sitting brings up "windows explorer" has had a error and needs to shut down. it restarts it and the task bar disappears. It then comes back and does it again..

Pissing me off dearly

Is this a clean reinstall of XP?

Could be scratched then, or dirty.

Or maybe it's a HDD or memory error causing a few bad bytes in the install.

Either burn this or install to windows.
