XP Won't Start

I just migrated Win XP via Parallels Transporter from my PC. When I try and start the XP VM I get the message "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer." PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Any Ideas?
 
Not sure how to insert/attach screenshot to this reply. Also, I used the express migration method in Transporter. I didn't see any request for a CD.
 
Attached is a screenshot of the message I receive when trying to start the XP VM.

Its trying to install it, it is normal,
The problem is that some proprietary hardware drivers are installed and causing BSOD, I cannot say exactly because I cannot see Device manager.
The easiest way is to perform Windows repair as described inhttp://kb.parallels.com/en/5138
But please note you need to use the same Service pack level as installed in VM, e.g. you can slipstream Service Pack as described in http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html
 
John, When I went into device manager it showed issues with the graphics drivers. After looking through a few posts in the installation and config forums I decided to install Parallels Tools. Did so while in safe mode, restarted vm, activated winXP and all seems to be working well.

Thanks for the help!!
