Lots of problems have been reported with XP Mode. This is an article from April but might still apply: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=4263 Possibly your laptop doesn't support chip level virtualization. You should use Bing search to see all that is out there about XP Mode. Start here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ The FAQ's are helpful.

I just checked the bios on my XPS 420 and there is a setting for VT there that is disabled by default. Go through all the settings in Setup and see if yours is disabled. Mine has the option to turn on Intel Virtualization.

There seems to be a problem with XP mode running on Dell machines equipped with AMD Turion processors. General opinion is that it is a Bios problem and a bunch of us are awaiting fixes from Dell. Problem seen on Inspiron 1526, D531 and others. See this thread:
