Answer 1

ERSvc.dll is Windows Error Reporting Service.



ERSvc.dll is a part of Microsoft® Windows® Operating System. It is possible that the Operating System CD that you have is scratched or not installing this particular part of the OS on to the Hard Disk Drive when you do the install.



I would suggest that you get hold of another CD that has XP Pro and see if you can do the re-install.



Also, as the other Answerer mentioned, check and re-seat the RAM ( and the other Expansion Cards ) if necessary, dust the insides of the computer, make sure that the Cables are all snugly connected etc.
