Even though I choose "choose the driver to isntall" I still dont get anything else than these options:
 
MPS Multiprocessor pc
Standard pc
 
Is there a way to force my PC to a APM PC, either by doing it in device manager or during install of XP?

When installing press the F5 key i think to select Standard PC. But the APM has nothing to do with the Multiprocessor HAL as far as I know....
