Hello diego

Your English is fine! :-) Here's something to try that may help (you'll
need your Windows XP CD or the files from the i386 folder):

Open Windows Explorer and go to the Windows\Inf folder. (This is a
hidden folder, so if you don't have these set to display you may first
have to go to Tools | Folder Options | View tab and check Show Hidden
Files and Folders.)

Look for a file called srchasst.inf, then right-click it and choose
Install. You'll be prompted to insert your CD or point Windows to the
i386 folder.

Good luck! Let us know how you get on :-)
