Nope it runs fine. Most XP issues end up being driver problems.

It seems to run fine on my desktop but craps out on my laptop. Both have WinXP Pro but the LT is using an ATI video card and a different CPU and RAM (1 gig instead of 512 megs) - so the machines are different.

Running SEIV in CM as Win98/ME also failed.

Shouldn't happen, what are the laptop specs?

On another note - this LT is a Dell 8200 and I'm not sure I'll buy another. Their tech support sucks of late. This is the second time I've had video driver problems with Dell products. On my 8100 - they never could solve the problem via phone and finally (after 1 year) agreed with me and accepted the unit back for a full refit. The chip was bad as I had been stating all along.
