I tried David's suggestion of removing the NIC and booting. The device wasn't showing in Device Manger but I ran the installer anyway. Windows made no attempt to interrupt. I re-fitted the NIC and rebooted. Success!!!
Thanks to everyone.......and David I owe you a large one.

In Topic: Device cannot start Code 10

I only ever download drivers from the manufacturer, I even have the option to download driver updates from windows disabled. I think what has happened is that the driver has somehow become corrupted and every time I attempt to uninstall/delete the driver in order to install an updated package from Intel it is auto-installing the corrupt driver. I have tried to overcome this by disabling the auto-install feature (temporarily) by the following;
gpedit.msc>opening the Local Group Policy Editor> Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Device Installation>
Prevent Installation of Devices not described by other policy settings> edit and set it to enabled. I thought that was how you do it but it doesn't seem to have work. I will do the DDS scan when I've put my son to bed. Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.

Thanks for your responses. Yes, Yes and Yes. Fixit is clear that it's a driver issue. There are a number of drivers stored for the device and I have gone through them uninstall/deleting the drivers until there are no drivers left that support the device. Reboot and it installs the same damned driver.
