Not sure what is going on but I am very sure OSX is giving you the proper info on the VRAM in the card. Not sure why XP is telling you it has 512Megs VRAM.

It's a pre-requisite before you install xpsp3.

In this instance it's not a FAT32 issue. I've used both the online and standalone updates without issue on FAT32 based installations.

If this doesn't work it could be to do with your boot directory setting in the XP registry it's a problem that several people are reporting:

As with any registry 'tweak' backup first etc etc.

1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter.

2. Navigate to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup

3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value

4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C




Thankyou sooooo muchhhh! Exact same problem, perfect solution.
