tobymarrToby,You seem to have a Dell Dimension 1100/B110 desktop, also the model number should be listed on the bezel around the power button located on the front panelHave you installed the Video/graphics driver?Best to Install the drivers in this order,
1-Desktop System Software
2-Chipset.
3-Video.
4-Network Interface Card [NIC]
5-Audio.
6-Then the rest of the drivers and applications.
After installing each driver, you should restart the system.If you require info, on the monitor, you need to post the monitor model, this can usually be located on a label on the back of the monitor.

Toby,The Dimension 1100/B110 NIC [Network] driver 'Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection' driver, is HEREThe Intel Springdale G Integrated Video driver, is HERE
The Dell E176FP Monitor driver can be found HERE, but you may not need this driver, as Windows XP has a generic version for the monitor.

Tobymarr, refer to my wiki here A Clean Install of Windows XP, this will take you through the install procedure step by step. Have a quick read to ensure that you have performed all the steps correctly. My guide is UK based.
Since you have done most of the install, you may also change the regional settings in the Control Panel from US to UK. Go to [Start] and select Control Panel. Next select Date, Time, Language and Regional Options.
Select customise and change to your own preferences (I have selected U.K.).
Click OK and then select details to ensure the keyboard is also set to as your desired.
Select Add
Select the correct one from your list.
Select OK and finally change the top from US to your personal preference (or the American Keyboard layout will still selected).

These are the minimum requirements for basic functionality. Actual requirements vary, depending on the system configuration and the programs and features that you choose to install. If you are installing Windows XP over a network, you may need additional available hard-disk space.
The minimum hardware requirements for Windows XP :
Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended) (You have a 486. This is NOT a Pentium Processor)
At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended)
At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse or some other compatible pointing device
Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600)or higher resolution
Sound card
Speakers or headphones
