Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

This is a bug in the HVM emulation layer. In some cases it needs to emulate
instructions, but it looks like WinXp issues one it was unable to emulate
yet. I checked upstream  xen-unstable.hg  repository there's still no support
for this. Please enter a bugzilla ticket with the details from this mail so
the problem can be tracked.  I'm afraid there's no immediate work around I
can think of to make this work, so you might want to try Windows 2k instead
which I believe has been getting more upstream testing than XP

Regards,
Dan.
