It is the "Critical " part of this information which concerns me . Could someone give me a clue as to what the "Error Control" is and what I should be concerned about it being listed as "Critical" . The 3 Problem Devices are related to original drivers that have been replaced with newer drivers . The isapnp replaces a Microsoft driver with an nvidia driver , so only the " critical " note is my concern so far as the computer is working perfectly but for the critical notice.

The Microsoft driver isapnp with the " critical " note is my concern so far as the computer is working perfectly but for the critical notice and the 3 Problem Devices . Since this 3rd post ( those first 2 posts may be deleted if you wish ) I updated Java and 1 of the Problem Devices has disappeared. Whether that is because Windows deletes unneeded items like an unused driver ,like I read about once , or whether it was the updated Java I cannot say . I could not find a reference at Microsoft.com for Error control: Thankyou for any ideas , though at present I will do my best to leave the system as it is .....immmmm

I have reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition and discovered I had installed the Mainboard drivers incorrectly .The Mainboard drivers ( I have not remembered who I have posted this to so you are getting it too ) came with a Display driver but I installed a second Display driver after the Mainboard drivers so have had nothing but trouble since I bought the computer 8 months ago . I had told the nice salesman I would install the software so I could gain some experience with computing . Well I am glad I have learnt something , and now the best drivers are installed for my computer . Now I think I can begin to do some computing . Thanks , Nicholas
