Didn't you post this elsewhere yesterday? Found it!

Please see my answer there. It should be similar to answers you will
receive here.

You may want to look into cross-posting in the future if you feel your
message needs to be in more than one newsgroup to be properly
answered/looked at. What you have done is called 'multi-posting', which is
similar in that your message is placed in multiple newsgroups - but
different in that they are actually two (or more) unique messages as opposed
to when you cross-post. cross-posting would make things easier on you and
better for those reading/responding and researching the same problem in the
future.

The long/short of it is...

When you installed Windows XP onto your son's PC - did you also install all
of the hardware drivers from each of the hardware manufacturer's support web
pages for each individual piece of hardware? Also - why SP1 and not SP2
or - as of tomorrow - SP3? Service Packs are cumulative.

Last question - added - are you sure you installed Windows XP and not vista?
I only ask because you mentioned SP1 twice now. ;-)
