I have helped a lady to install SP2 for her. Now after a couple of days, when
she logon windows is detecting a new hardware to install named Win XP Promise
Fast trak 376 Controller. Where is that coming from, nothing has been added
as hardware on this computer? And what does that do?

try going to the device manager and seeing if it reports an error
there. if it does you can try these things, use the rollback driver
featue, under the drivers tab. or you can go to the promise website and
see if there is a driver update there, I looked briefly but did not
find anything for a Fasttrak 376. Also in the general tab of the
controller see what the location is.
 
A visit to the Compaq support site may well reveal SP2 compatible drivers
for this device, and at worst give you access to Compaq support who may well
be able to advise better on the nuances of their systems..
 
Hardware drivers that were installed are now not compatible with SP2. Go get
the compatible drivers from the computer manufacturer.
