When installing this network card I hav ended up with the wrong driver
installed. XP has tried to install the Vista 32bit driver instead f the XP
one.
Now no matter what I do to try and update uninstall/re-install the driver it
keeps telling me that the latest driver is installed - the XP one is '95 and
the Vista one is '97.
I have tried the 'SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1' route but the card
driver does not show up under hidden devices*.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried uninstalling or removing the Network Card itself. Restart
without it and then Shutdown. Reinstall and let WinXP reload it.

I have tried uninstalling and removing the card, but when I put it back in it
just automatically applies the Vista driver before I can do anything else.

I'll try the uninstall/remove/re-boot thing when I get home, but I ihink I
tried that.
