Every time i try to open an aplication i am prompted with several errors mainly on the fact that there are missing *.dll and most of the things i try to download don't download or if it manages to finish, it tells me kinikon kinikon *.dll and i can't enjoy my privilages please help me find a solution to these problems thanx.

it tells me kinikon kinikon *.dll

Lol. ,


well try to restore ur PC to it default operating system because i guess maybe your PC is not compatible with xp2008

if symptoms persists, format

What service pack did you install? Cos officially, Microsoft has not released the SP3. So, you can not rule out the possibility that the file you downloaded and installed is not Microsoft signed. As such, errors could arise that aint on Microsoft's knowledge base.

My advice, roll back the installation.

please how reinstall the system to normal,

this is what goes with installing pirated softwares.I would like to make a correction, Microsoft has actually released sp3 for windows xp. When you say windows xp 2008, I wonder what u mean. Might be that installation did not take place properly and if so, you need to reinstall.

Sp3 has not been released yet, but If it was a clean Installation you did (ie You Deleted the former windows folder before starting a new one), then Yiur problem is the Registry, It didn't carry over the past registry, therefore re-installing the individual softwares will do (just backup the INIs you need).

@Sting Microsoft only Released a Beta version, Final is still in development.

The Beta version of XP SP3 was released earlier this year which featured over a thousand fixes, the final version will be released in the second half of this year.

I guess i will just reinstall it, if there is any cahnges i will let you guys know, thanks for everything
