Thanks for taking time to try to help on this.

Not sure exactly what mechanism resulted in resolution of the yellow
warnings, but I uninstalled the driver under one of the two listings,
rebooted...it still shows two listings, but no yellow warnings, and
indicates
the device is working properly. I think I will leave it as is, though I
am
sure a purist would argue that there should be only one listing for the
video
driver.


If it is a dual head graphics card, then this can show up as two instances.

Though I am not new to PC's and XP, I have an issue for which I could
please
use some help, as I don't want to screw up my system.

I am running XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Vostro 220s, and coincidentally noted
that
in device manager, under display adapters, I find two instances of
Intel
G45/G43 Express Chipset, with yellow exclamation marks before both.
Double
clicking leads to the "windows cannot load the device driver for this
hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)" error
message.

Everything nevertheless seems to work.

As such, would it be advisable to fix this, or leave it alone? I am
not
an
expert on video drivers, and am reluctant to uninstall both instances
(would
that leave me with a blank screen?), or is that indeed what I am
supposed
to
do, and then try to reinstall?

Thanks so much for any advice.
