Apparently, performing an UPGRADE from one OS to WindowsXP is very bad news. I was advised by a number of people on here to do an entirely clean install (eg. reformat hard disk and start from scratch)
I've noticed WinXP is a little memory hungy, specifically with games - I would advise at least 256MB of Ram.

Read an article today with comments about XP problems with Voodoo Graphics so Glide & OpenGL are affected. Bad news for us Quake players.
