I tried various "machines" from that list but the issue still persists.

I opened devices manager of XP and selected the yellow question mark
relate to the "video controller (VGA compatible)".
Under details tab, ID hardware, I can read the following code:

PCI\VEN_1234&DEV_1111&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_00

Usually if you search google for that ID Hardware code, it reports
vendor, product and so on about the hardware.
But this time seems like the above code is just a "dummy" hardware ID.
vendor: 1234 ???
dev:1111 ???

I suspect it is dummy hardware...

Anyway I can use the system without any issues, ignoring that driver request.

What do you think about?
