Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Reasons for this error include a driver that
is not present; a binary file that is corrupt; 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.

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the
troubleshooting wizard.
