Answer 1

I'll bet you used a store-bought XP disk.

Back up all personal data from your PC ("Backup" means: copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive). Then, do a Windows "Clean Install", for further instructions, go to:

Note: You must use the Recovery disks, if included with your PC, to avoid driver problems, not a store-bought XP. The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual FIRST, if it's not already too late.

Answer 2

Wrong drivers....
