Is there a utility available that's better than Microsoft's device driver conflict utility? XP Pro system runs smoothly most of time but occasionally I get error while using MS Explorer (browser) causing application shutdown. When computer is restarted message is displayed stating device driver conflict but Microsoft is unable to determine the offending driver.

Thanks for the advice on this and the tip to obtain Hijack this.
I also found that the conflict noted in the Event Viewer was related to parallel port (LPT1) and showed up as problem in device manager. By going into BIOS and changing PNP to "OFF" the conflict was resolved.
