missing "viamraid.sys" error

[Chambersburg_PA]

Greetings,
Hope this message finds each of you well.

When trying to re-install Win XP SP2 and attempting to "upgrade" to Win XP
SP2 from Win XP SP2(as a means of trying to repair Win XP SP2 components I
get a missing "viamraid.sys" error saying that the setup of Win XP will no
terminate.

After installing several programs I've found that the screen-saver, and
power-downs/shut-offs no longer work, and I'm having a difficult time traking
down the cause.

It seems certain that there is something running in the background, but what?
My computer is a SystemMax AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Proc. 4200+, 2.21 GHz
with 3.0 GB of RAM
I've installed the following:
Cyberlink Power2Go, but it isn't actively running (nothing in the tray)
Mustek USB 1200UB Plus which isn't actively running either
Microsoft Works Suite 2006
QuickTime not actively running in the background
Chess Master 9000 not running
Rouge Spear
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi (Music)
..NET 2.0

On the surface it doesn't seem like such a big deal, but am left wondring if
this problem could lead to other bigger problems or perhaps be indicateive of
some larger-but-unknown(or undetected) problem.

How can I fix these bad Win XP SP components.



Hope you can help.

Hello,

Looks like the VIA Raid Driver. Try downloading the drivers from
www.viaarena.com and reinstalling them. After that, try performing the
installation of SP2 again.
