I did my dual boot in reverse of what you did, I installed xp pro first, then vista ultimate and had no issues at all. I did however have to create a partition for vista to use but you can do that on the fly with the automated disk partitioner in vista.

Take a look at this web page. It outlines a method to install XP with Vista already installed.

You can't install two operating systems on one hard drive partition. If you want Windows Vista as well as Windows XP, create a partition on your hard drive and install it on that.

the graphics driver is incorrect or not loaded
you need to get the manufacturers driver to suit vista, download from the manufacturers website in the support section.
