What is sprb0402.dll? I am trying to install XP professional on to my pc, but each time I attempt this I get that the file sprb0402.dll is missing.The installation stops at 63%. I have a choice to skip this file ,so I did and also skipped few more,after copying all files I get another error at the beginning of the installation and I cannot finish it. Any help will be appreciated.

That is usually caused be a faulty memory module. Try running memtest86. Google to it. Also remove any pci devices except the video card and try swapping the memory modules if you have more than 1. Replace the pci modules one at a time after you get xp installed.
