    It might be mismatched memory. Have you added memory, if yes, try removing
    one module and then the other and see if you still get the error.

    The fact other errors disappeared would seem to indicate the culprit in the
    other error was some of the software installed for these other devices but
    you'd have to add them back one by one to see which one.

    If the above doesn't resolve the memory issue, I suggest you repost the
    question to the windowsxp.hardware newsgroup.
