Sounds a good idea to me to reinstall XP but without SP1. I installed
SP1 almost as soon as i put XP on the computer, and stupidly didn't
allow it to save files for uninstall. I'm going to put off a complete
reinstall as my comp is now set up perfectly about from this (quite
major) problem.

Hi Graham. I'm still struggling with this. I have an Abit KT7a so I
installed the VIA Hyperion 4 in 1 drivers but they made no difference.
As I re-installed XPHome _and_ SP1 using a slipstreamed CD, I'm thinking
of installing SP1 again by itself this time. Don't know if that is a
good plan or not!
I've had no response to my query about udfs.sys and I can't trace a
source on the net (apart from MS).
