Hi, I have just recently brought a new Pc without an OS and have tried to boot up Windows XP Pro OEM, Having booted it up I get the error message STop C000021A (Fatal System Error. The session manager Initialization System Process terminated unexpectedly with a Status of Oxc 0000034 (Ox00000000 Ox00000000) The system has been shut down.

Have you already installed the WinXP Pro in that PC with the OEM CD or did you get this STOP ERROR message while booting the PC with the WinXP CD in CD-ROM drive to install the system?
If you have already installed, have you installed any Software like Roxio Easy CD-DVD creator and its bundled software? M
