I would try reinstalling the motherboard chipset drivers too. Can't hurt

ever see that error before

i've never seen that error before. i would recommend re-downloading the drivers (it could be a corrupt download). also if that doesn't work you might try downloading an older version of the driver.

I've had this happen to my PNY GF 2 64 Mb card. I uninstalled the card and drivers, restarted and used the original CD drivers, then installed the latest ones. Good luck.

An update of Norton Firewall completely screwed up my WinXP recently. I had to forcibly uninstall Firewall and Antivirus using tools from the Symantec website.
I'm now running the free AVG antivirus (it works OK) and XP's own firewall (which is basic, but I've also manually disabled everything except my TCP/IP protocol and closed off a load of ports).
The Shields Up!! site (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) reports all my ports as "stealth", so I figure I'm fairly secure...

I have to stand up for norton. I have 2003 system works with all updates and have never had any trouble at all. You say that "norton screwed up my machine" could you explain that a little and tell us how Norton did this?
