I had this happen and fixed it, here is how:

Basically windows was trying to install a pre-service pack driver. I had Win
XP SP1 and I did a search for sbp2port.sys. Two different sized files came
up, 1 in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and one in
c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

I copied the one from the service pack dir into the driver directory and
re-installed the device. Everything worked.

Of course I made backups of the two files first.
