re: error code 4 Wednesday, February 27, 2002 at 10:24 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sha17 (1 messages posted) I saw the same error along with many other errors during installation. I bought new ram and that didn't solve the problem. I finally found a suggestion on a message board somewhere to take out my Nvidia GeForce 200 video card and replace it with a different type. I found an old Creative Labs 3d card and popped it in. It immediately installed XP Pro without a glitch. After everything was up and running I replaced the video card with the GeForce. I don't know what the problem is with that card during the installation but it gives multiple blue screen errors that lead you to think the ram is bad. I sweated for over 10 hours until I tried this. I'll be keeping that old card around until I finally replace the GeForce. Good Luck.
