i had a problem with this error, too (the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" one). i had my XP box set up nicely and decided to add a new NIC to it, but i made the mistake of putting the new NIC into an empty PCI slot that was 1 slot below the old NIC (which i removed). got that error for days til i figured out what i did wrong. reinstalling XP didn't fix it, either...just had to put the new NIC into the old NIC's PCI slot. something about more than 1 device pointing to the same IRQ. had to go through all this business in the device manager afterwards to make sure everything was ok, but after i put the new NIC into the old NIC's slot, everything was fine again.
