Heya Chris -
I know I've seen that error somewhere before. I can't recall where, but I have the feeling I managed to provoke it during my own install at some point.
Don't know exactly what old XP drivers you're using - check the dates on the files. You'll know from the date if they're the original drivers, they were developed by Chris Thoman, Chuck Duffy and others in 2003 and 2004. They were designed to run on older single core PCs, and although some folks got them working on multicores it took external utilities and a bunch of writhing and nailbiting to do it.
Mike Audet developed the first actual multicore XP drivers (which you're *definitely* going to need) around 2008/2009. They were designed to fix a whole bunch of potentially show-stopping issues with multicore computers. There shouldn't be any betas of those particular drivers still floating around out there, and if you'd inadvertently come across some they'd have the bugs and lack of support the beta designation implies.
If you're going to give PARIS a shot on that sort of multicore computer I couldn't urge you more strongly to start by buying Mike's drivers. Absent some sort of hardware malfunction (and it's too early to be suspecting that) I'm certain he'll get you up and running - and he's about the only guy on the planet that could answer your last couple of questions with technical authority (PARIS uses some tricky non-standard "under-the-hood" stuff). If you're thinking of giving PARIS a go, save yourself a major headache and grab his drivers and get excellent tech support for PARIS in the $50 bargain.
Welcome to the forums!

OK, been doing some research. For starts, I reckon "not enough free resources" is literally true - PARIS cannot find the EDS resources to start.
Of course, now I've stated the obvious, the trick is naturally in figuring out why.
Gantt in this thread managed to localize the issue as a combination of a bad EDS card and a corrupted software install.
In this thread, it was tracked down to a PARIS EXE that had been modified with a cooler skin (this was before we had some important insights about skinning PARIS - it appears the effects of old-school skinning could "spill over" into other aspects of the EXE - the way I think of it, which might be totally technically laughable, is that one of the replaced graphics was too big and would basically leak over the boundaries of its memory "compartment").
In this thread, it was that PARIS had been previously installed with a certain card configuration and couldn't deal with having the configuration moved around, the IRQs changed etc.
By the way, I think your package from Mike should have included Scherzo, ParisStudioControlLibrary and a couple of other sub-drivers like the ADAT module. I hadn't heard of any 2.2 vs 3.0 issues with Mike's drivers.
Here's the things I'd suspect are worth examining:
1) The install has not been done 100% according to instructions - one step might have got glossed over. I have a very, very vague recollection that I provoked this error by forgetting to add the new FX system path to my system as detailed in the instructions.
2) You're getting the message because of an IRQ conflict that is blocking the PARIS software from getting access to the EDS resources it needs. What's your current IRQ situation look like, is PARIS sharing with anything?
3) You legitimately have a bad EDS card. This is possible, of course, but personally I think there's greater odds we'll track this down to a software configuration issue.
As far as buying Mike's drivers not helping - they might not have helped quite yet, but now you can ask Mike Audet via email to help you get up and running. And as you'll find, you won't get more skilled in-depth PARIS tech support anywhere... 
Oh, and nag ID about your code. If you bought a system with a legitimate 3.0, and you've done the ownership transfer legitimately, then you own that 3.0 license and they need to give you the code to use your purchase.
