Thanks SG,
I did a bit of tinkering and found that UNinstalling SP1 and restarting
helped.
Two things happened: some of the hardware installed automatically,
and second: anything else I forced an update on the driver and everytime it
completed it's install.
Then I reinstalled SP1 and carried on!
So, no hair loss today......
