stick in your xp disc click run and type sfc /scannow


not a space after sfc

Reply:Have you tried the obvious.





Going to System in Control panel and searching for Devices under one of the tabs (Popberbly Hardware).
Reply:Stick in your Windows XP Disk and hit Repair.
Reply:Have you tried the GUI way of accessing device manager? Also try last good configuration.
Reply:Run a full virus scan as something has caused this problem. Once it is complete see if the problem is still there. Then put in your XP disc and do a repair. If this doesn't work you are probably looking at a reinstallation of XP.
