Are you saying that the older HP Desktop didn't have this XP on it before?
If so, then I suspect you are missing drivers, like motherboard/chipset drivers.
How did you do the install?

I just did a fresh install of MCE 2005 XP on an older HP Desktop. Windows runs great, but every time I boot or restart absolutely NO services are running, it goes back to classic windows style and acts almost as though it is in Safe Mode. I am able to to into Control Panel>Performance & Maintenance>Administrative Tools> Services, and Manually start all the services I require, then my Royale theme comes back and I am able to use the computer again, but I have to do this EVERY TIME I restart my machine. I tried System Configuration, but it is non existent, when I try to run msconfig it tells me that it does not exist and upon going to to C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\binaries, msconfig.exe does not exist. Is there a way I can reinstall the System Configuration Utility and get my computer to go through a normal start-up without reinstalling Windows? Thanks!
