The most obvious thing I would recommend reconfirming is that you have been installing "Altera Starter Edition", not "Altera Edition".
I have Modelsim-ASE installed on WinXP on several machines and have not seen this type of issue.
I also have several versions of Quartus and Modelsim-ASE installed in virtual machines.
Perhaps you can try installing VirtualBox, install WinXP, and then install Modelsim-ASE.
You could also file a Service Request directly with Altera and perhaps they might have some other debug suggestions.
Cheers,
Dave

Dave,
Thanks for getting back. I've confirmed the most obvious things (see included screen shots), and tried a multitude of other
combinations. Installing as Administrator made no difference. I've tried the 12.1SP1 variant and several other builds with and
without various service pack inclusions. Always done on a fresh install of XP-SP2 (and SP3). All with the same negative result.
I've tried it on a completely different PC (AMD vs Intel). Ditto.
I tried to post a service request - but had no luck...
I need to get in touch with someone that knows the internals.
Thanks again.
