For anyone interested, my resolve(after trying everything else I could possibly think of, and every tip online that I could dig-up) was to setup a 2nd Windows 2000 hardware profile for DV export only(right-click My Computer-->Properties-->Hardware-->Hardware Profiles. Make a copy of the current setting, rename it DV, reboot, select the new profile and make your changes in Device Manager).
Basically, in this hardware profile I disabled every hardware component that I didnt need for a DV export..it has been repeatedly successful. I hope this helps someone.
