Vista - device manager error code 37

Device manager in diplay device is reporting that Windows cannot initialize
the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37). This has just started to
happen, I have tried uninstalling the radeon drivers. I have tried another
card but still get the same message.

Are you running x86 or x64 Vista? What video card? How about some
specifics.

I am running x86 vista and the graphics card is a radeon x1650 pro the other
card I have tried is a nvidia 7300 gt super which has the same error message

I am also getting code 37 and have not installed/uninstalled any new hardware
or software. The "help" I can find doesn't seem to address code 37 but quite
a few others. Does anyone know of a specific place online that addresses
this?

Thanks, Janis

....AND I have not recently upgraded to Vista -- it came on the Gateway
laptop when I bought it. All updates have been installed and recently, there
have been quite a few everyday. Thanks, Janis

forum and read the 6-23-08 posting by Egarcia titled Answer Re: Code 37
- Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Vista
Home Edition). The solution completely fixed all my problems (well, not
my relations with my ex, but all my vista/error 37 issues), and that of
dozens others with similar issues.

For comparative reference: I was having sudden and numerous problems on
my acer 6920 - a half dozen "code-37" errors ID'd in the devices control
panel, and failure of laptop's keyboard, built-in mouse, and all audio
devices. Then i found the Microsoft thread referenced above. Twenty
minutes later, including restart, everything's working perfectly.
