I'd try to work with the drivers next. Especially since the cards worked until you installed XP. (I think that's what you said...your posts would be easier to read if you used punctuation etc!) It looks to me like a generic driver is installed. I've seen XP guess a driver that is close, but not close enough.

Try going to the manufacturers web page and getting their drivers. Or figure out which chipset is on the cards and change to the correct generic driver.

Luck to you! Post your find!
