I tried the f5 f7 approach but was stumped when it asked for a manufacturers driver disk. I continued through the re-install but experienced the same problems almost immediately. Thanks for the help guys, I have solved this now with a copy of win98 for this pc and think the motherboard is just incompatible with XP at the moment.

This popped up immediately after install, no drivers whatsoever used. Not familiar with installing without ACPI, will look into it.

Made a comp out of the following parts, AOpen MK33 kt133 motherboard, Duron 1000, geforce 2mx, 256 ram, quantum HD, pine modem. I have used the latest BIOS available for this motherboard, tried different sticks of memory, no good. Problem is as follows; AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0x71) which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71 protected address range, bla bla blah.. could lead to system instability. Well it sure does, comp just freezes when this pops up, eager to hear your input, thanks.

Using XP pro with Thunderbird processor, 256 mb ram, gf2mx. When trying to install an error box pops up that says insufficient memory to run in 16 bit windows mode. No other processes are running. No problem to install nhl 2001 or madden 2000. Thanks in advance for your help, I'd like to see any ideas.
