Yes, the graphics card is up to date. I can run XP 9 and 10 fine. But perhaps a little background is due. I'm a developer and have been using VS2015. I recently upgraded to 2017 and because my C drive is an SSD - 200Gbytes - I do not have room for a complete VS2017 install. M$ insists that Visual Studio goes on the C drive. In my mistaken belief I could delete VS2015 and have room for 2017, I probably deleted some dll in the process which is preventing XP11 from installing. The error codes given indicate that the installer is attempting to load something at an address in RAM that does not exist. It *has* to be a missing dll... though what it is I do not know. <sigh> Well, I suppose I either do a complete re-install of everything including win7 (or maybe upgrade to win10 - though I'm afraid that will want even more room on my C drive) or I do without XP-11 until I do.
AFA meeting XP-11 requirements - my specs were listed in my original post and yes I exceed them.
