Your computer has hardware devices that prohibit you from
upgrading
to Windows XP.
Conflicting Devices
Setup has detected an incompatibility between your
video card &
computer's mainboard. Because of this, your computer
may not
start up after the upgrade. Contact the manufacturer
of your
hardware for technical assistance.
