[dlaud81]

Ive recently brought a 2nd hand PC which came pre installed with Windows XP Pro, from what i can gather it was orignally Windows 98. Now when i attempt to install say MSn im having great issues i get the following error messages depending how i try and install it:

Code 0x80070057
The Parameter is incorrect

or

Live programs cannot be installed on Windows Server, Windows Xp pro X64 edition or operating systems earlier than Windows XP Service Park 2.


Thus far sufing the net has offered no issues bar this, i dont the issue is or i can resolve it.

Thanks for any advice.
