Brian,

Good advice, but I could find nothing in these white papers that was helpful
to me. It is not an unknown device. Device Manager picks it up as a system
device/PCI device. Under "properties" it identifies the device as: PCI bus 0,
device 27, function 0.

Under "Device Status" XP reports: Windows cannot load the device driver for
this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

The White Paper on the explanation of Error Codes for Error Code 39 states:

Recommended resolution

Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary file
that is corrupted; a file I/O problem, or a driver that references an entry
point in another binary file that could not be loaded.

Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall
or upgrade the driver.

The driver has been uninstalled, and a scan for new hardware has been done.
The wizard cannot find any driver, and I have no idea what PCI device it is
searching for. I have tried to reinstall the Video card drivers and the Sound
card drivers when Wizard asks for them, but still get the message "driver not
found" and the wizard installation fails.

Don't know what to try next.

Thanks for your response.
Ed

your system is telling you that you need to install the drivers for your
motherboard chipset, usually it's either the northbridge or southbridge
chipset.
