The words are very difficult to read. Most of them are cut off at the top, and some are scrambled beyond legibility. I'm thinking it may be a font substitution issue. Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks...

maybe you need to adjust your screen resolution?

system>system>video output>video calibration

from there you can adjust the overscan

I guess this circa 2004 XP Pro IBM Netvista just doesn't have the horses to run the software. Is there something else out there that will run on this old box? I'm not opposed to going to Linux for this purpose. But, I really needed to have XP available for testing software I'm working on...

Wide open to suggestions...

It is more likely the video drivers. I run XBMC on and old laptop with XP and intel gfx. It works okay. I don't get any video acceleration, but it functions fine for SD content. The biggest trick is to have the most current video drivers you can get.

Post a debug log on pastebin.com. This will give us info on your hardware and any problems XBMC runs into.
