For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, you only need the following Internet Explorer 6 hotfixes:
Q885932 - IE stops responding or crashes, and you receive an access violation in Vgx.dll, when you view a Web page in IE 6.0
Q888240 - Some add-ons are not listed in the Manage Add-ons dialog box in Internet Explorer on your WinXP SP2-based computer
Q929969 - Vulnerability in Vector Markup Language could allow remote code execution
Q933566 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
All other IE hotfixes have been superceded.

If anyone else is interested l mmanaged to find a way of doing this.
You will need to determine the vendor id of the wireless network card. To do this got to Device Manager, go to the properties of the wireless network card and click on the Details Tab. Make a note of the VEN string
Go to the registry HKLM-> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Hardware Profiles->0001-> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Enum->PCI
Export the VEN Key that relates to your wireless NIC to a reg file
Edit the reg file and change all occurrences of 0001 to 0000.
Double click on the reg file to import it into the registry
Go to HKLM-> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Hardware Profiles->0000-> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Enum->PCI
Then expand your VEN key, there will be a sub-key probably starting 4&…. you will need to create a new DWORD
DWORD should be called CSConfigFlags and should be set to 1 in Decimal.

I have a scenario where l have a laptop with both a wired and a wireless NIC. When docked l want to use the wired card and for extra security have the wireless disabled. And when undocked have the wireless enabled and wired disabled.
This can easily be done with hardware profiles. The problem l have is if l then plug the laptop into a different docking station it generates a new hardware profile with the wireless card enabled.
Is there a way of tell windows xp when creating a new hardware profile always disable the wireless card?

could it be an overheating issue, since you fitted the new gfx card?
have you tried running the pc with the case off?
i installed a piece of hardware a while back in my pc and knocked the power lead out for the cpu fan and experienced random shutdowns. doh
