Hmmm...that seems strange....I dont remember if I upgraded from Xp (32 bit) or a clean instalation of it but have you tried starting to the cd. If you change your Bios settings to boot from CD and then have the CD in it might go from there

No, your processor seems to be ok. You have a Pentium D 940 w/ 3.2 Ghz, correct?

Right-click on "My Computer"
Select "Properties"
Click on the "Hardware" tab
Click the "Device Manager" button
Double-click on the "Processor" icon

What does it say?
