It's definitely the software (mangled OS drivers from the X10 camera installer, I assume), as I restored a backup I had made on my first G4 and that made it work.

I'm really mad at myself that I didn't already backup the new G4 (I could have sworn I had done it), but I'm also made that MP3Car.com didn't have System Restore enabled by default, which would have fixed it (which it did on another PC I tested the X10 drivers on - on that PC, the X10 drivers disabled access to my optical drives, sound card, and other hardware).

Now I'm just gonna have to start over with a new Windows install and spend a lot more hours reconfiguring everything.
