[SOLVED] Device Manager and Half the entire control panel unaccessable.

I just sorted out some motherboard problems, and now I have this problem. I'm running Vista Home Basic, and I've been trying to get the audio drivers working correctly to be able to play music. However, When I go to go into the control panel, I will eventually, if not immediately, get a notice that the explorer.exe has stopped working properly and must be restarted. I can't get into the device manager, and most other places I click into will result in the same error.

My system:
MSI K8N Neo4-F Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.21 GHz CPU
Nvidia GeForce7 7900 GT GPU
Corsair 2GB DDR500 (x2 1024MB)

Faulty drivers from MSI's website were causing all of the problems. I did some browsing around the internet to find the correct drivers. Finally... music... so good...
