Hi,

1) Would you mind telling us which device was the one that had the yellow !
mark.
I know that you listed the error, but it does not tell us the device involved.

2) I have in the past had to go into the safemode of windows, go the the
device manager and remove
what shows up to be the problem and a similar items, then when the system
reboots it finds the correct one.

example DMA controller and EISA DMA controller.  the first was fine the
second had a ! mark.
When I removed the two of them, the EISA controler was found and installed
fine.
It's as if the other one was blocking it.
