According to the techs at Hercules, you can get the Theatre XP to work if you follow the following instructions. (Untried by myself I must admit as I simply haven't had the time to do so yet..)

 

After install, XP improperly recognises the Theatre XP as a Crystal chip set compatible which screws up the sound (Normally you get a buzzing noise instead of sound) Boot up in safe mode, go to hardware devices and remove all instances of *any* sound related drivers (The Crystal or Herc ones) and then reboot into normal mode and install version 2.02 of the Hercules drivers.

 

The sound still isn't perfect but at least it is usuable.

 

Hercules will be releasing proper drivers shortly after XP is released. (allegedly!)

 

Cheers..

 

Beeb.

This is what I did to get it working perfectly, at least stereo mode:

 

After install winXP, dont boot in safemode boot normally go into device manager and right click crystal fusion blah blah (first in the list of crystal devices) choose properties, driver, update driver, install from a list, browse, point to original CD that came with GTXP.

 

then when its done you have to disable sensaura 3d sound processing and mp3 hardware accelleration playback

 

also, you dont wanto have more than 256MB ram or else it wont work (sound distorted) I had to pull out 128 MB ram to get it work frown
