My Device manager shows a conflictwith the
Direct Memory Access Controller as follows:
Device Status
"The VDMAD.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver
(Code2)
To fix this,click Update Driver to update the device driver."

When I did that Windows searched for and installed the driver.After rebooting
the same message appeared,and when I tried again to install the driver,Windows
said, the driver is already installed.But the device manager still shows the
conflict.
Any ideas???

Just a though:

Remove the device from the Device Manager and reboot. Plug-N-Play should pick it up as a new device -- sometimes reinstallation without first uninstalling doesn't clear out some of the configurations (which could actually be the culprit).

Normally, I do not use safe mode unless there is a network or display problem I'm troubleshooting, but the recommendation below is wise, nonetheless.

Just an add-on to previous answer. Also go to Safe mode to insure that the device has been completely removed before letting it reinstall. SOmetimes not doing this can waste alot of time and hair pulling
