Delete the drivers and let XP automatically install them. Other than that, you might want to look at the connector on your Pearl. Make sure it has at least 4 out of the 5 pins. Also make sure you've set your Media Card in options like this:

Ok so my memory card is already setup like that from when I first used DM on my pc to set phone up, but I have just noticed the mini usb on my pearl the pins are not all at the bottom I'll see if I can push them down with out breaking them with a pin
