I've been having too many troubles in winXP sp2 so I removed sp2. That opened up different problems so I tried to re-install windows from my cd. Now I get a message before windows loads that says "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API" and quickly disappears. The system then reboots and does this cycle over and over. I've tried to check out other posts and I've seen the same message for issues with hibernation and systems with more than 1 gb. but I'm not trying to hibernate! I do NOT want to start a fresh install as I would lose too many things that, of course, are not backed up. Anyone? Thanks!

Is this an original copy? Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is in general very stable.

I suggest you try to find the root cause of this problem.

It can be hardware related as well as a virus.

Make sure you have all the latest drivers for your cards and bios.

Look in the event log for more information as well.

gadiram: i think they is no hardware or virus problem.

Have you run an antivirus and antispyware? Have you tested the computer?

I recommend you run an antivirus and antispyware now.

Once again, if this is not an original Windows installation that came with your computer and is validated, then I wouldn't trust it.
