I also tried two Intel chipsets to no avail. Ineed to install the US Robotic Modem also and i have the CD for that in the attic, that may take care of it as it seems this is from an unknown modem or NIC and the NIC is fine.
Note:AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support).
Any customers using a combination of a ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series, or ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series product with any of the legacy products listed above in a single PC system must use the ATI Catalyst 9.3 or earlier driver. All future ATI Catalyst™ releases made available past the ATI Catalyst™ 9.3 release will not include support for the legacy products listed above or any of the features associated with those legacy products.
AMD may periodically provide Windows XP and Windows Vista driver updates (for the products listed above) for critical fixes only. No new features will be provided in future driver updates. The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above.
The following products have been moved to the legacy software support structure (including Mobile and All-in-Wonder Variants):
ATI Radeon 9500 Series ATI Radeon 9550 Series ATI Radeon 9600 Series ATI Radeon 9700 Series ATI Radeon 9800 Series ATI Radeon X300 Series ATI Radeon X550 Series ATI Radeon X600 Series ATI Radeon X700 Series ATI Radeon X800 Series ATI Radeon X850 Series ATI Radeon X1050 Series ATI Radeon X1300 Series ATI Radeon X1550 Series ATI Radeon X1600 Series ATI Radeon X1650 Series ATI Radeon X1800 Series ATI Radeon X1900 Series ATI Radeon Xpress Series ATI Radeon X1200 Series ATI Radeon X1250 Series ATI Radeon X2100 Series
You might try Intel's download site, which has an online chipset identification and update utility. I'm not sure if it will work for something that old.

Speed Step, I tried all those last night. What I have the yellow exclamation Mark on is: "PCI Simple Communication Controller". And on VGA controller
And when I tried to install the Radeon 9600 (Upgraded to that some time ago), it didn't install.

speedstep,
The driver I had downloaded was 10-02_legacy_xp32-64_wdm, I believe that is the same one you are suggesting for XP at:
support.amd.com/.../radeonaiw_xp.aspx
Just the drivers not Catalyst. Should I try again? I didn't notice any errors just VGA on rebooting??

downloaded DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
I'll try that and report back. XP Pro SP3 has no patches past the service pack so this makes sense to try.

speedstep, i found the video card CD and installed the vga, it included .net 2 which was missing from the ATI download.
I took the modem out to get themodel number and downloaded that, it was what was needed for the "Simple PCI Controller". LOL
