Remove all unnecessary hardware (sound card, network card etc.), and try reinstalling. If all is ok, replace your cards one by one testing as you go, if it falls over, you know what card/driver is causing the problem..............

When I get a message like that on a fresh install of XP on a clean Harddrive, I get real suspicious because as of yet you have no Windows register installed to conflict with! I would swap out your memory stick to check it out, bad ram will give you wierd messages like that.
If this HD has had a previous OS on it, I suggest using your WIN98 boot disk or CLEARHDD from Samsung website to totally wipe the disk clean of everything, re-set your partition(s) and start over. XP is real finicky when it runs across old data or old partitions.
