I am trying to install XP on a computer with one hard drive, a video card,
Pentium 4 2.88Ghz processor and 512 meg of ddr133 ram.

Everything goes as it should until XP tries to go into the GUI interface. I
then get a BSOD that says "Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" and that setupdd.sys
is at fault.

Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this.

Thank You.

Hi Ken,

Most likely cause is bad or mismatched ram. If you want to check the memory,
there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.
