Try Windows XP drivers. Many work with 2003.

Actually I did find a 2000 driver that worked but the biggest part of the
problem was the failure to detect the hardware. In the end I "Uninstalled"
it and started over and got a driver from the MS site. Not perfect but it
works at least. With 2000 I can't recall any problem, oh well.

Thanks anyway, I may dual boot with 2000 and see what happens.
