Hi again Shani,

Sorry for the delay, I'm still not exactly able to get here all the time.

In most cased the drivers for 2000 will work in XP so give those a shot if you haven't already and let us know what happens.

As a contingency plan JUST IN CASE the drivers cause XP to not boot up at all for some reason:

If that is to happen, simply reboot your machine and rapid fire on the F8 key until you get a menu with options for SAFE MODE and such and pick LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION. That will roll back any changes made to the settings since the last successful boot.
