I have found a solution to my problem so hopefully it will help others.
The windows XP error was due to my not having the rights to add the hardware, although
I was loged in as the administrator (VIP user)
To change permissions I did the following:-
Run Regedit
Start
Run
Regedit
expand; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
expand; SYSTEM
expand; CurrentControlSet
expand; Enum
highlight; PCI
right click; PCI
select; Permissions
Change the permissions and save
I was then able to re-install the Network Card drivers
Good Luck
