Hello Dennis,

According to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article, this error
occurs if you have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed. Versions of Easy CD
Creator prior to 5 are not compatible with Windows XP and version 5 requires
an update for it to work properly in XP. The article offers two solutions. I
recommend you do both, uninstall Roxio and close all open programs as the
article instructs, then proceed with setup again. You can reinstall Roxio at
a later date after Windows XP is installed and you are satisfied with it.

Dear Pcsoft,

I am trying to upgrade my system from windows 98sec edition to winxp  and i
get an error messege that i386\win9xupg\w95upg.dll. can not be loaded.

I formated the hard drive and made a new win98 installation and tried
