Every MS KB article mentioning this error appears to link to a hotfix ([url=http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=326457&kbln=en-us]here[/url]) that requires you to enter an email address in order to download. I'd say it's worth a try... I found a discussion elsewhere in which it was suggested that one should check that the BIOS setting "PnP aware OS" is set to 'no' (this setting is redundant in all but the older operating systems). This is old advice and may no longer be relevant, especially as the KB articles explain the issue as non-unique identifiers being applied to two (or presumably, more) devices with the same serial number. It's a bizarre one, I tell you. I know Microsoft get a lot of bashing anyway, but I'm amazed that such a simple and avoidable problem should still be an issue when they claim to have corrected it in SP2. Not an easily forgiven oversight, IMHO. :eek: [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4663]White Hawk[/url] on 06-11-2008 13:39)[/small] Loading...
