Hi all,
Recently I have tried installing an ethernet card in order to gain
broadband access with my computer.
I figured it would be a breeze in installation, but after the
system detect the new hardware, it started to indicate error during
driver installation. The comp will just try to run the driver and at
the end i will get a simple message saying "there is an error in the
installation (code 1), the data is invalid".
After seeking help from the technical personnel in the computer
shop, we have realized that the fault lies mainly on my operating
system. (we tried different PCI slots, change different brands of
ethernet cards to no avail). This was concluded because we replace my
harddisk with another one, and the ehternet card could be installed
properly.
I was adviced to reinstall my operating system, but that would mean
that i have to reinstall many softwares i'm using and i have tonnes of
ducments which is hard to be moved.
Therfore, can anyone give me some suggestion as to what can i do to
fix the system to recognize the card without reinstalling the system?
For addition information, when i log into the system in safe mode,
i will find some network adapters which will not show in the device
manager menu when logged in with normal mode, I'm wondering if these
phantom devices might be the cause to the conflict. Also, previously i
was using a USB ADSL modem for internet connection, wold that be any
cause of conflict??
OH, and i'm running on windows XP system.
Really apprecate all the help you can provide. thanks in advance.
Rgds,
Terence
