I am trying to clean up my very old Sony Viao which has two OS's. I do not understand most errors that pop up and block me from doing basic installs/updates on both OS. It seems that Win 2000 runs better than the XP Pro version on this computer. I think XP was usilized more than 2000 for the past three years and was never updated at microsoft.com and needs alot of TLC to get it running smoothly. As I navigate through the cleanup I keep coming up with errors that prevent me from installing regular updates or downloads to almost anything that would help this computer run faster. I am sure there is a virus on here but windows update won't go through the installs and I can't get Avast antivirus on here because of the following error above. I installed the set-up to my desktop and when I click run this is the error that came up. I have unistalled it twice and reinstalled it hoping that it was just a loading problem but the same error keeps happening. Does anyone know what this error code means and if there is a fix to it so I can get on with downloading some antivirus software to clean this computer before doing anything else?
Thanks

A suggestion for you.
A few years ago, a client asked me to look at saving the life of a very important but quite old specialist machine tool in their factory. The control system was using 2 Windows 3.1 PCs. The custom written control system software would not run on Win9x or later OS as it was hard coded for the specific PC and graphics card. The company were desperate to find a solution because the machine was going to be very costly to replace and with a 2 year lead time so they needed to buy some time.
These legacy PCs had no USB ports and only floppy drives (long since broken) for backing up so the company had always struggled to back them up were therefore very vulnerable to hard drive failure. Also, the PCs kept breaking down and spares were really hard to get.

So, what I did was virtualize the 2 Windows 3.1 PCs complete with their application software and ran both of them inside a single modern PC. The one application required LPT port support and so was run in MS Virtual PC and the other had some special graphics modes which required VESA emulation so I used Oracle Virtual Box for that. I got the 2 PCs to talk to each other via a virtual network and was even able to access them remotely through the host for backing up. Also we were able to protect the host PC with a UPS which would not have been possible with the originals (at least not with controlled shutdown anyway).

So, could you not do something similar. From what you describe, your WIndows 2000 PCs and custom app are not using any special or dedicated hardware so could you not virtualize them in a VirtualBox VM and run them inside new PCs. Yes, if the Windows 2000 system is accessing the internet/network, it would still be vulnerable but at least it would be running inside something that is fully protected and patched and would be very easy to backup and/or recover in the event of a problem.
