if you put the CD in when you are in vista and double click on it, what happens? Does it try and load XP?
I got the issue resolved finally. In fact, I just got home from a friend's house who helped me out. And I don't do bootleg. This copy came with my Dell that I bought last February. Have the envelope and activation codes and all for it. Later, QD.
