This apparently is due to installing Windows Media Player 11 before sysprep.

This resolution is partially from Microsoft’s recommeded work around. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320279

As Windows XP reaches end of life, vendors and system builders will no longer be able to sell Windows XP on new systems.  If you are not planning on migrating to Windows Vista be sure to pick up a license of Windows XP Retail Version, as any OEM or pre-installed version of XP cannot be transferred to your new PC.  Custom systems can still be built with XP sor a little while longer so if you are planning to get a new computer and want XP preinstalled, make sure to do it soon as it won’t last forever.
