| 135429 | 2003-04-13 08:17:00 | When trying to install a PCI Ethernet Card into a WINXP Pro based PC, I get the following message: "There was a probelm installing this hardware Ethernet Controller An error occurred during the installation of this device The data is invalid" Now a friend of mine told me this could be related to a faulty registry key, & he had come accross it before. But he couldn't remember the key & how to edit it. CAN someone HELP !!!!!! |

| 135434 | 2003-04-13 08:43:00 | Hi Uninstall the card, reboot and load new divers when prompted . Might be usefull to try a diff PCI slot while your at it but, it sounds more like a driver issue . I would have thought the std XP drivers would be fine for this card so, if you still have problems give it a try . Cheers Murray P |

| 135436 | 2003-04-13 09:04:00 | I have an exact same network card as you are trying to install... but mine went fine with the drivers on the WinXP CD. | somebody (208) | ||
| 135437 | 2003-04-13 09:50:00 | Thanks godfather, but I tried that solution but it still refuses to work, any more suggestions ?????? | stirringaxe (3166) | ||

And if you read the MS EULA you are not allowed to edit the registry otherwise you invalidate your warranty. |
