In my experience i found that it hardly ever is a Hardware problem have you tried reinstalling windows, by using a startup disk and your installation CD or win95 installation files on the hard disk.

This should clear up the conflict that is causing your error and you will still have all of your files and Applications..

p.s. Please try to delete any unecessary files e.g. temporary internet files and temp files in your windows directory to free up space on your machine.

As stated in the previous answer this is most likely not caused by hardware, but you should remember that if you remove the hardware the registry still might call for certain files. If you are sure you have uninstalled the drivers along with the hardware then the problem is in something you recently might have installed or changed. A well known culprit is the RMM.PDR file in the windows\system folder. rename it or remove it 9usually you dont need it) and restart and see what happens. If you dont want to reload the OS which will require to reload the apps anyway you can remove/reload apps by trial and error method to find out what is causing your problem.
Good luck and hope one of these works in your situation

You might want to use the msconfig utility. From the Start button, run "msconfig." Go to the "Start up" tab and uncheck everything, then reboot. That should be the equivalent of starting in Safe Mode. If it works, try adding back a few items at a time until the error reappears, then remove one of the recently added start up items on each successive reboot. When the problem goes away again, you will have found the start up item that is causing your problem.
