Wondering if you had made any more progress or had some other things to try here?
I noticed that the error message stopped showing up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen but the popups are still showing up.

Here is the info you asked for

Also, it looks like i might have some kind of memory issue. (I've had a few crashes lately and decided to investigate the possibility)

I ran the windows memory test and it said I had some kind of hardware problem but failed to specify. I don't have any cdrs sitting around to burn memtest on - any suggestions for dialing this in? Could this also be causing this Windows recognition issue?

I couldn't agree more and if I had suspected I really had a memory issue, I would have looked into it before now. I've had it happen before and totally take the computer down because it kept feeding garbage back as the OS tried to pull the data out of the RAM.

I've run Memtest86+ (found a usb stick i could boot from) and I have a ton of errors so it looks like I have some bad RAM. I'll get back to you and re-post here once I've gotten the problem sorted.
