did not install plugin.ocx

Hi Toby,

 

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community Forums.

 

As per the description, you get a message "Windows can not install the file plugin.ocx" while reinstalling Windows XP.

 

Is this an original Microsoft CD that you are using to reinstall XP?

 

You may also use a different Windows XP installation disc and check if the issue exists.

 

Please post back with the result.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.  I bought the disc and do not have another one.  I do have the six floppies I made to recover though I made to recover from.  They did nothing. I tried sfc /scannow that did not help.  Is there soe otherway to install it, other than pasting it in.

Hi Toby,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

Please try them. If the it still doesn't work, please try another XP CD as floppies will not help if the drives are corrupted.

Hello,
How are you?  Do I have to add all of the list or part of it.  Do you have other options like this.  Do you think it will help Office 2000 Professional to be found by its service packs.  Is there some other items that will help there.

                    Thank you,
                        Jeff

Hello,

I need more help, please.  I do not know how to execute the commands in notepad.  When in safe mode, I clicked the folder and it showed the commands   Nothing else happens.

         Thank you,

          Jeff

Hi Toby,

 

Let me rephrase it for you.

 

1. Open Notepad

2. Copy the commands that are in bold (starting from cd\   to pause)

3. Save the note pad as Reset.bat on the desktop

4. Restart the computer in safe mode with networking

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

5. Double click on reset.bat

6.  press Y if you get a prompt.

 

Let us know the result.
