Virtual PC Could not open the Virtual Machine Network Services dri

Message:

I get that message everytime i try to open VPC on an end user's computer.

System Info:
Dell Optiplex GX620
Windows XP SP2
Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller

Steps i have taken to try to fix the problem:

Uninstalled / Reinstalled VPC 2004

Verified the "Virtual Machine Network Services" Driver box is checked in my
NIC properties.

Verified that the user account is not under the "Network Configuration
Operators" group.

Manually uninstalled and reinstalled the "Virtual Machine Network Services"
service under my network card.

Updated the Chipset and NIC drivers.

One thing i noticed thats strange, on my pc when i click properties on the
"Virtual Machine Network Services" it has the following information.
Driver Provider : Microsoft
Driver Date: 6/4/2004
Driver Version 2.5.452.0

When i check the properties on the end user's pc, all of that information is
blank.

I have the same model PC as the end user with the same version of windows.
VPC runs fine on my machine.

Any help would be appreciated, this is really frustrating.

Here is the full error message im getting when opening VPC.

"Virtual PC could not open the Virtual Machine Network Services driver.
Access to the external network and host will be unavailable to all virtual
machines using virtual networking. Virtual machines using virtual networking
will still be able to access other virtual machines using virtual
networking. To fix this problem, re-enable the Virtual Machine Network
Services driver on one or more ethernet adapters or reinstall Virtual PC."

Had the same problem with VPC and my Broadcom.

Found this solution :

1) disabled the broadcom
2) installed a USB NIC

then restarted VPC : had no message any more and could use this USB NIC (and my WiFi)

4) de-installed the USB-nic
5) enabled the broadcom

now VPC gave me no more message and I could use the broadcom nic (and my WiFi).
