    Try unpacking the SP3 service pack files (if you haven't got the service pack, you can download the "for network install" package) - winrar (and possibly others) I believe will be able to look inside the service packs.

    Do you have any devices with exclamation mark in the device manager?

    Try to uninstall them and then use - "Search for device changes" feature to reinstall them, when asked - put the windows cd so it can copy missing files from it

    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    The "uninstall + install" may still work as vart suggests.
