Hi Clivebuckwheat,
I've got xp up & running on a studio one 19. The FOXCONN ACPI BIOS SIMULATOR driver you're looking for is something called OSD.
However, I don't know what OSD is! On Vista, it doesn't seem to do anything.
In fact, I've called Dell tech support (on vista), asking what the OSD software is and what it does, and they didn't know. The OSD software is installed in C:\Program Files\Dell\OSD, and based on the file names, (mute.bmp, brightness.bmp, volume.bmp), I would guess it's some kind of program to have an on-screen display to adjust the brightness, contrast, etc. A normal monitor has buttons for these things, but the all-in-one studio one 19 doesn't have any physical buttons for that, so it would make sense to have a program to do the same thing.
However, I can't figure out how to use the OSD software. There is no mention of it in the manuals. Further, on XP, the system seems to work just fine without the OSD/FOXCONN ACPI BIOS SIMULATOR driver.
Clive, were you able to install XP using the nvidia AHCI drivers? I've tried repeatedly without success - I had to install XP by switching the hard disk to IDE mode.

Where did you find the OSD driver for xp to use on these machines, can I have the link?
To answer your question no I also changed it from AHCI TO IDE Mode
