I don't have any ideas about this one I'm afraid. I haven't heard reports of
anything similar.

I was being rather pessimistic. There have been reported successes with
WinXP, for sure. Unfortunately it's hard to know specifically what your
problem might be -- it might be as simple as having an option in your config
file set incorrectly, pushing you into an untested configuration. I see that
Wei Huang has just posted some settings that have been tested and are known
to work -- you should definitely try those!
