Re: OT: Device Driver Errors

I ran a scan and identified 9 digitally unsigned drivers and researched each one. 1 belongs to the motherboard, 2 to c-dilla (software protection copyright stuff, but not present from the beginning), 1 from the dvd, 1 for safedisc launcher (another copy protection thing), 2 from my Norton a/v, and 1 from my soundcard.
I'm going to see if I can find some updated signed drivers...I know already for some of them I won't be able to though.

You for the Motherboard drivers first. also check if there is an updated BIOS. I would quess your problems there. If not, I would try disabling (or removing, if you can) the Norton. Most AV programs are very intrusive, but it seems NAV is more than others. It will work fine for many, but, sometimes.....
It would be helpful if I knew the specific equipment you computer has (MB, CPU, etc.)
How long have you had XP Pro installed?
Do you do a lot of adding/ removing of software?
Have you run any anti spyware programs lately (Spybot, Ad-aware)? sometimes a little program in the background wreaks havoc.
