Been away for a while, reading just now.
My board is the DX38BT, running on Vista 32 SP1 and with the SMBus v2.0 drivers. I see most of the screenshots are only using the "regular" SMBus drivers that comes with the INF package. The v2.0 driver for SMBus I believe was installed with IDCC, not sure though. I have it installed and works fine, no error like the one you're reporting.
General->Device Status states This device is working properly.
Driver says Intel 1/1/2007 version 6.4.0.1 and Driver Details confirm this info.
Hope this helps.
Try installing the SMBus driver 2.0 and see if it works.
