If your chipset is by VIA then what worked better for me is using the native
VIA drivers in XP. The 4-in-1's are for Win 9x/ME. Although I am running a
Radeon myself and have had no problems at all with XP Pro. The SB Live!
problem is solved by reserving IRQ 5 for the slot it is in. You can do this
in BIOS. It's should say something like "Reserve IRQ for legacy device."

Just some things to try...
