XP fighting me, new install - Success
squirrellydw:
thanks, but I took the easy way out and returned the RAM and MOBO and sold the CPU. I did not have a speaker attached, don't have one. I did try both sticks of memory. The MOBO does not have onboard video.
squirrellydw:
I have all my new crap now, going to try again tomorrow and hook up my cab speakers to the mobo. I have built over 100 PCs, this was suppose to be the easy part. wish we luck

Installing it on a SATA 320 gig HD
and using the AVGA PCI-e video card
Fresh install

It's a long shot.. :dunno But try swapping your mouse and keyboard around (each other port) and start again (I had a similar issue 2 years back)
youki:
Try to install it with another Video card. Remove your AVGA , put another VGA card.
Once, your XP runs .
Put you desktop in 640x480 standard VGA.
Change the video card
Plug your PC on your cab
Start in Safe mode 640x480
Install arcade VGA drivers.
Then reboot.

woohoo, it worked. Must have been the RAM or MOBO. Now to install the drivers for the AVGA and install XP updates
edit........71 updates for XP :o
