128Mb is insufficient for XP. Even 256Mb is bare minimum. Microsoft says 128Mb is minimum memory requirement but in actuallity the 256 is "real world" minimum.
The Windows XP Upgrade Advisor, the first thing that runs, is critical to a successful installation. Anything that the Upgrade Advisor flags must be addressed BEFORE doing the actual installation (or upgrade).
It will indeed install and run with 128mb although the experinece (pardon the pun) will be painful. Your issue almost sounds like a video driver issue. Do you have the correct XP drivers loaded, and no the generic ones?
