I don't know, a chipset driver would be my guess for the motherboard.

But I wouldn't experiment without knowing for sure unless you are

willing to screw everything up with the wrong one and start all over

again.

 

One place I would ask is in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

newsgroup. In fact, I'm adding that one to this post and wait and see

what those pros says.
