RE: cMP - the open source high-end Memory Player

is it impossible to install xp(sp1) on that new hardware?

Whether it's impossible, I can't say but it's inadvisable. SP1 is over eight years old now and issues with new hardware have been reported from time to time. SPs 2 and 3 are readily available on the MS web site; the link below describes how to "slipstream" them with a vanilla or SP1 XP installation disc. IMO, well worth the effort - at least you can eliminate SP level as possible cause.

Also, after a recent report of a similar issue on (I think) the cMP thread, someone provided detailed notes on a workround that I meant to copy and keep but forgot. It'd worth looking out for them if the above doesn't help.
