i'd bet you don't have the correct drivers
because it works on my XP and my ME

(this is from my memory which is known to be faulty)
it may be a ram problem???
someone posted a few months back that they were running XP with 128mb ram and were crashing
someone else posted that with XP you need more ram than 128 to run DB with XP?
i don't know for sure, its just what i remember and i may be wrong

My advice is free -
unfortunately you get what you pay for (-:

zzabb is right, on XP, i believe more RAM is needed... dont hold me to that though.

y not try emailing support and give them your specs and everything and they'll probably be able to tell you the problem

Hope i was of assistance...
