Quartus II on Windows XP Professional 32-bit ?

I had the same issue working on Windows XP professional SP3 32bit. Quartus II installed properly and I did not encounter any limitation on the quartus software. However if Modelsim-Altera installed properly, I have never been able to launch a simulation, the simulator crashes with code 211 and no additional information in the dialog box... I am still surprised that the soft do not check its own compatibility with the operating system during the installation; a simple warning could save many hours to search for the problem...
