I just installed XP Pro with SP3 and I was installing the driver for the motherboard (Intel) and the computer crashes during the install of the driver. I tried installing my older version of windows XP Media edition and the same thing happened. If I don't install the ethernet driver the machine runs perfectly (but alas no internet). I even downloaded the most recent version of the driver from Intel website and it crashed with that too. Any suggestions? Could this be a hardware issue (my machine was working fine until I decided to upgrade to windows Pro)
Thanks in advance for any help.

card or onboard?
real XP CD or copy?
mobo make and model please.

It's the onboard ethernet
It'sa copy of XP. I used to use a similar copy and if buying the real full version is the simple option then I will but I have a feeling it might be more hardware related. Hope not though.
The motherboard is a Media Series Intel - DG965WH with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

I'd go here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2375&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go%21
and make sure I had all the correct drivers for your OS, especially the chipset drivers(#4) and the ethernet drivers(#8), for the board....if that doesn't work I'd uninstall SP3 and see if I had the same issue...
Good Luck
