The software you are installing for the hardware:
Batteries
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you skip this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
Do you wish to continue installing software for this hardware?
Ah, the joys of tech support. I encountered this message during a repair install of Microsoft Windows XP today, and I had to take a moment to laugh and be thankful I don't use Windows anymore. This has two kickers.
First, this was using the repair install feature of a genuine Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 compact disc: Genuine Microsoft software. What's a driver not passing Microsoft's own tests doing on Microsoft's own official RTM media?
Second, this is a desktop PC being repaired. What, the motherboard's real-time clock battery needs a driver now?
EDIT: The cause turned out to be one of the two memory sticks going bad. Because of the way they were installed, that put the bad memory range up at 800-1000 MB RAM range. Hooray for Memtest!

A stick of bad RAM would do the same thing, no?
