Hi,

Recently I bought a new 640m laptop with Vista. Trying to install XP pro, but getting error, a blue screen with some information like system will shutdown... video driver is not...
But I was able to Install another xp pro CD (from my friend) without any errors. Problem is I cannot register this install with microsoft to get the updates and it is not letting me to install with my own XP pro cd (genuine).
Any thoughts & ideas will be appreciated.
Currently I dont have the error screen shot with me, but I can provide it soonly.

Thanks,
vajra

  1. OX code means?
  2. Yes, I can't install genuine xp on it. I browsed and got some info regarding this issue and found that XP with sp2 can be installed in the latest laptops. Currently working on that.
  3. Yes, I was able to install.
  4. I didn't know that, Thanks for the info.
