Upgrading from ME to XP Pro problem

[docmeizie]

I am upgrading my system from ME to XP Professional as soon as I can resolve this conflict issue that wont let me go any farther. It says that my video card and motherboard have an incompatibility. I have not been able to find any other help from anywhere. Can someone please tell me what causes this incompatibility and how to resolve it? I have a nvidia tnt2 model 64 agp video card and a GigaByte ga-5ax motherboard. Please help!!!!

If I take a peek in your Windows, to fix a problem, does that make me a "Peeping Tom"? Hmmmmmmmmmmv

Have you prepared your computer as per the suggestions in this article?

If you download the Hardware Compatibility file listed in the above article it is 3 - 4 MB size. It is a list to see which hardware IS compatible (not a fix). If your hardware is not on it you may be stymied until you replace it.

Maybe some clues here.

Try your luck in the hardware forum too.
