it isn't a vnc viewer problem, cause the splash screen (spots) are
changed every ~10 seconds (you now, "This Windows is now the best system
ever" bla bla ...).

it is just a normal WinXP SP2 for company's. Not a OEM version or
something like that.

first i tried to use the Etch packages (3.0.3) but i was unable to start
the installation, so i installed the binary 3.0.4 packages from the xen
page. It was working out of the box for linux, accept the installation
problems with XP.

You have to reset the machine, restart the installation process (windows
setup does this automatically) and after a while (15-60min, don't know
exactly cause of sleeping ;-) ) the installation conquer this part and
goes through.
