Every time I start up my PC I get a pop-up centre screen displaying 'Hardware error 1024 - contact your equipment vendor'. This is merely an annoyance as the system is working perfectly well. I just click OK and carry on. Any ideas on how to stop it happening?

The cause somehow relates to my broadband modem, as my orriginal equipment failed and was replaced (Thompson Speedtouch 330). The first instance of the error code manifested immediately after installation and has persisted despite attempts to find a cause (& solution).

There are no conflicts showing in device manager. It's only showing as installed once (my first thought was it had re-installed & would be showing up twice) and works fine. Tried knowledge base to no avail (pity 1024 is so crucial in computer terms) so thought I'd give you all a go at it.

Any comments/advice gratefully recieved.
