Well, I tried the suggestions given last night. And I've decided that I really don't need Windows XP, and I went back to Windows 2000. It runs just fine, and does everything I need. Oh well, maybe someday when I am in the mood for frustration, I'll try an upgrade to Windows XP. --Matt

I forgot to mention that Windows 2000 does install and seems stable under the same configuration. --Matt

I recently bought a new motherboard and cpu, see below for system details. When trying to install Windows XP. It gets to the part that says "Setup is starting Windows XP" and occasionally I get a little bit beyond that, but not much. I've tried replacing the Nvidia card with a VooDoo 3 card. I've also tried removing the Sound Blaster Audigy Plat. I have also flashed to the latest motherboard BIOS. Any suggestions? --Matt
