It is possible that the fact that you are not running SP1 is causing
problems. My XP machine here which I use for Windows development works
perfectly fine with Bacula. It is Win XP Home 2002 SP1.  You might also
try shutting off any anti-virus software during Bacula testing to see if
that makes a difference, and check what other services are running.
Shutdown anything that looks unusual.
