Hi! When i install WinXP the text based setup works fine, but when the computer restarts and the graphics based setup starts the following errors appears.. "GUI mode Setup has started. SXS.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:\I386\asms\6000\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\CONTROLS.MAN" on line 0. Failed to install assembly from manifest: "D:\I386\asms\6000\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\CONTROLS.MAN"; Win32 Error Code = 14055 Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message : Manifest Parse Error : Invalid at the top level of the document. One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed. Manifest Parse Error : Invalid at the top level of the document. GUI mode Setup has ended because of a fatal error." Does anyone recognize the problem?

I've tried your solution but it didn't work, the same error mesaage appears. I had to copy the other files from the original CD, I don't have the RC1 or RC2, don't know how important that is? If so, can you mail me the right files? 2gr84u@swipnet.se

Hi! I've tried to install my graphics card in W2K SP1 the native drivers won't work i've also tried the latest drivers from Nvidia but the same problem. It works fine with W98 on the same computer. The error message in device manager says that the drivers for the card couldn't be started??? Plz help!

Yes, found the solution! Had to enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" in Bios. And now it's working!!! Thank you anyway, Palos!

The MS-6xxx family seems to have these problems! Well, **** happens!

U won't believe this, visited MSI's homepage and the forum (my MB is Microstar) and it seems that the MB doesn't support XP? And there will be no BIOS update either??? What do you say about that? Well next time i build a comp. i won't choose MSI, that's for sure!!! Thanks anyway!

Hoho!!! I've tried that, and two different graphic cards!!! I was wondering if i coould choose another HAL config during the installation? Maybe probs. with ACPI?

The CD is genuine (Pro) and have been installed on another comp. I've tried it on an IDE HD and SCSI HD but the same problem. Of coz, both HD's could be corrupted, but scanned them both and no problemos, I've also tried to install it without any HW installed, except the graphics card! The latest BIOS is also installed... Lack of ideas!!!

Have you tried to just upgrade?

Help! I've also tried to install WinXp on my portable (Compaq Armada 7400) but the same problem? Strange!!! Must be the magnetic fields in my apartment!

Ok, will try... installed my old ATI card and an Voodoo2 card, works fine for now!
