USB and stop 0x00000050

Ok, I've been trying to get my girlfriend's PC to keep from
bluescreening after attaching a USB or firewire device for the 2nd
time. I've already switched out the RAM so I know it isn't that.
Every post I've seen about the problem hints at driver issues.

Any time we attach her iPod or my Canon A70 camera (or with my USB
thumbdrive it just crashes no matter what), remove it safely, then
attach them again we get the following PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA stop
message:

0x00000050 (0xFFFFFFE8, 0x0000001, 0x8OFD91B9, 0x000000)

This happens with the built-in USB ports or the SIIG PCI card I added.
I have the SIIG drivers but cannont seem to get them installed. If I
remove the USB devices and "Scan for hardware changes" I'm never able
to choose the SIIG drivers, Windows just automatically reinstalls it's
own drivers. If I run the SIIG installer it says to reboot after it's
done, and when I do it's still the Windows driver that is in place.

1st, I'm looking for any tips on how to get the SIIG drivers installed.

2nd, does anybody have any tips on preventing these blue screens?

We're running XP SP2, 384MB RAM, Celeron 1100.

Thanks,
Greg and Kimberly
 
Tried almost all of that article to no avail. Any suggestions on how
to get the SIIG/NEC drivers installed rather than the Microsoft ones?

Thanks,
Greg
 
Hi,

You may need to manually force the driver change, even if the system
initally balks at it. Do this through properties of the device on the driver
tab. Use the update button, but manually choose the driver.

If you can identify the required files, try renaming the MS ones on
the system to old, or something of your own choice, then manually
copy the correct ones over to their respective location(s) from the
installation media.
Reboot then when XP finds the "new" device you can point it to
these new files instead of inferior MS ones. Hopefully this will
force the device to install the new drivers.
Before attempting any of this I would also boot into safe mode and
remove any "leftovers " in Device Manager, and clean out your temp
folder.
