pLIZ COUL YOU TEL US WHERE YOU BOOTED FROM? IS THAT YOU HAVE 2 CDROMS OR USED THE SAME DVDROM TO BOOT FROM

Just sounds like you are trying to update while your logged in as a user w/o admin privileges. Just log into windows as the Administrator and update from this user profile.

Don't know how to install drivers. I'm asked to log on as an administrator.
I installed a new hardrive and brand new Windows XP onto a second hand
HP Pavillion a1022n. The dvdrom allowed me to install Windows XP, but I
have no sounds and no multimedia-both cd/dvdrom drives not working.

please help-thank you

Here is a link to the download page at HP for your Pavilion A1022N:

Install the drivers you need. Remember you have to have an Administrator Level account, i.e NOT a Guest Account in order to be able to install drivers or applications.

I know how to download and install drivers, but I don't have a clue what an Administrator Level account is or how to log into it and Windows XP Help
doesn't explain this either. When I installed the new Windows XP on a brand new hard-drive it asked me for serial number for the software and I don't recall it ever asking me to create an Administrator account. How do I go about doing this?

The Administrator Account is created automatically by Windows. Normally the Administrator account is not used. You can go in and have it displayed when you log into XP. Most "regular" accounts have the ability to install programs and drivers, which is a privilege of having "ADMIN" Access. "Guest" accounts can not do either.

So, unless you've gone to the trouble of re-configuring your account to be a "Guest Account"? You DO have the ability to install programs and drivers.

Hi m_smiley!!

You said that you cannot install the driver without logging into admin mode? then, try to login on admin mode and install all the driver for the computer. Here is the link for your computer driver page:

HP Pavilion a1022n Desktop PC

If you can't find any specific driver for the computer, you can post the specifications of the computer, by running the Everest (the download link is under my signature there)

Need Help> I do not log into Windows XP. It logs me in automatically. How do I change this?

Goto START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > USERS AND PASSWORDS

Change your settings carefully.
