I have just loaded WinXP on my machine and I cannot get any games to install, i get the following error.
"The InstallShield Engine (iKernel.exe) could not be installed.(0x10000)"
I have tried microsoft but nothing.
Has anyone had this problem??

I have not seen this problem before and am running quite a few games on an xp box and they all work fine. I would say it will be quicker for you to reinstall xp and start again as it sounds like a duff install/build to me. 30 mins or so to reinstall as opposed to spending ages trying to resolve the issue would be my answer.
Let me knoiw how u get on!

i had a similar problem with xp, only this time it would not accept any sound drivers for any sound card i put in. I was told npot to reinstall and spent 3 days tring to fix it but with no results.
In the end i reinstalled and it picked up everything stright away!
Since you said your problem is wide spread affecting ALL games, try getting the latest drivers for ur motherboard, grafics card and sound card FROM THE MANUFACTURES WEBSITE, NOT MICROSOFT as sometimes they ***** it up.
If that fails, reinstall that puppy!

McBrun555,
I will try, but I have just found out that my brand new mobo and processor are faulty. I have done all the updates from microsoft including 1 that had an amd k7 update.
What I might do is uninstall all updates and try and run the game.
Then I should have my hardware replaced shortly.
Anyway I'm not making sense anymore and I need some sleep.
I will let you know guys

I think I have just found out what it is???
It's because I'm a spaz and my user account is on lockdown so I do not have rights to install F all.
My god it all makes sense now!!!
Nobber!!!
Steve
I will try when I get home
Anyway why does it not just tell u that???

For anyone thats interested I ended up doing an unconditional format on my hard rive then installing XP with an NTFS partition.
Now I can't even look at avi's and mpg's. I've downloaded all updates and quicktime and this and that. Sod it!!!
So I'm formatting it again and trying FAT32.
A very pissed off Steve thats very good at reinstalling P.C's
