Problem installing drivers for on-board Realtek sound

Using Neo2
I keep getting the following error when Windows XP tries to install the driver:
"Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware:
Realtek AC'97 Audio
An error occurred during the installation of this device
The data is invalid"
I've tried all the usual stuff of ensuring that the software is installed prior to the PnP wizard. I've even tried installing the NT4 (non-PnP) drivers (which installed ok and appeared to work, except that the sound device wasn't recognised).
I've tried the latest patch to no avail. Is my H/W knackered?
Any input gratefully received. 
Cheers,
/D

Ahem,
I thought what I had specified was relevant to the query, but here goes:
-Motherboard type and model             - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (939)
-Bios type and revision (AMI rev 1.9)    - Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Version : Nvidia - 42302e31
-CPU type and model                         - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (939)
-Memory name, model and quantity     - not sure but 3200, 2x512Mb Generic. Seems stable
-Video card name and model plus drivers and version - Hercules 3D Prophet 9600/9600Pro Series (SE) Driver Version : 5.2.3790.2
-Power Supply name, model and the amp rating for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V lines plus any limitation on the +3.3/+5V combined watts. This information can be found on a sticker on the side of the supply. - sorry but I haven't got the time to open the case up. It's a decent 400W jobbie. I've previously checked the various voltages and they seem OK.
-Hard Drives: Manufacturer, type and size and which IDE or SATA ports they are located on WDC WD800JB-00ETA0 (Sata 6) MAXTOR 6L040J2 IDE 1 (master)
-Optical Drives: Manufacturer and type and which IDE ports they are located on CDROMLITE-ON_LTR-48125S______________________1S05____\5&1DE79660&0&0.0.0 on 2nd Ide master
-Operating system and service pack level - WinXP SP1 and hotfixes.

  • Problems installing drivers for my nomad jukebox 1

    i have a nomad jukebox 0gb and im having trouble getting it set up on my computer. im running win xp pro, and my jukebox is running firmware version 2.96. i dont have a cd, so i downloaded and installed the drivers, but my computer still does not recognize the jukebox and treats it as new hardware every time i plug it in.
    strangely, when i plug it into my clamshell running os 9.2, the jukebox is recognized in itunes. i used itunes to put an mp3 on it (even though it was just a converted aim sound file).
    i have formatted the jukebox, but am still facing the same problems, and am not sure what else i can do. thanks.Message Edited by monstour on 06-24-2005 0:32 AM

    i have tried the jukebox on multiple computers, including other desktops and laptops with xp pro, and it has worked.
    something else i noticed is when i try to install the drivers, the installer is skipping the regsvr32.exe file in the windows folder.

  • Problems installing drivers for my pretty old soundcard. (Thread detailed).

    Hello, my friends audio card for some reason stopped to work, so I gave him my old card. Unfortunately, I have lost my CD.
    (And yes, I have read the sticky thread Sound Blaster FAQ).
    Here is what I did:
    Wrote all information that might get useful from card to PC, result:
    Creative Audio
    EMU0k-NEF
    Tech 97
    oo0E3020
    CT4830
    32GPC05D98A
    The bolded like "CT4830" seem to be the only useful word I managed to get from my card.
    Then it was searching, a lot of googling, a lot of sites trying to offer their perfect "driver scanner", if I searched for etc EMU0k, scamming and virus sites would automatic manage to track the exact component I was looking for. While creative.com wasn't even top 50.
    Back to point: I went on creative.com, I personally think it is a very messy site, I click on support, download, and I see a list of products, I choose Sound Blaster, and I get a few models to pick from.
    Now here I was stuck for a long time, I could not find my model there, it was only those new "awesome" models, so I had to find a little, almost impossible noticeable link at the bottow "cant find your model, click here" something like that. With small letters. NOT VERY USERFRIENDLY!
    And then I get to a list, I know, I have model CT4830, and I know "Audigy" is written on the card. But I could not find it in any of the audigy categories, some categories was missing images, so this was also a very tricky part.
    Then I found a list which could help me get the full name of my audio card, and I managed to catch up that CT4830 for some reason has the full name "Sound Blaster Li've! Value/Player Compaq /Intel/IBM/NEc"
    And this helped me a little (I think), since I had to look in the Li've category, even though it also was Audigy, it was not stated in the full name of the card.
    Now I found the most similar thing in "li've" category, called "Sound Blaster li've! Value". Nothing about compaq, intel IBM or nec or anything like that, just Sound blaster li've! Value.
    I downloaded the driver, released in 2003, I had an option to go for 2005 64bit XP driver, or 2003 driver (no OS mentioned in describtion), I assume the driver was for 32bit, since there was already another newer stated driver for 64bit.
    I managed to install this driver, it runs fine, no error messages occurs in the installation.
    It asks me to reboot, and I reboot, and on next startup, still nothing happens.
    So after all this research, what have I done wrong? Wrong driver? Which is the correct driver? Where can I download it's
    I am sorry for my frustrating behavior on this post, sorry, I just don't know what to do

    O You can find some of the original installation CDs in ISO form on Badboy's FileFront site. I believe this one is for your SB Li've value card as well as for some Audigy cards. These are for WinXP and older OSs.

  • Has anyone else had problems installing drivers for the Canon MF4570dn?

    I recently purchased a Canon MF4570dn multifunction printer, to be installed on my network at home. It works very nicely with my wife's Windows 7 box.
    On the other hand, I cannot install the driver software on either of my Macs (iMac i7 running 10.6.8 or G4 running 10.4.11). The installer fails when it gets to the point of running its internal scripts, and provides a proposed "solution" of "Call the software provider."
    Canon technical support is unable to help. I have reset printers in the system preferences, I have downloaded the installer package multiple times from their web site, I have repaired permissions, all to no effect. Their final suggestion is "Call Apple Technical Support and have them perform a 'profile reset'." (I've never heard of such a thing, in 27.5 years of owning Macintoshes. Has anyone else????)
    So my question is this: If you have one of these on your system, did you have any issues getting the drivers installed? If so, how did you overcome them?
    Thanks,
    Rich Alderson

    More negative feedback on these Canon MF4570dn devices elsewhere on the support boards. Buyer beware!

  • Problems finding drivers for late 2008 MBP Windows xp 64

    Hi,
    I'm having problems installing drivers for Windows xp 64 bit pro. The main problem is that i have lost the leopard install disc that came with the mac. As far as i know the drivers located on the leopard install disc 1 are compatible with Win xp 64?
    Does anybody know where i can get a complete list of all the correct drivers to download? I've been doing trial and error driver installation for about 1 week now and getting really upset that i have not been able to resolve this issue.
    Any help greatly appreciated,
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Stefan,

    Perhaps i am thinking of Windows Vista 64 then? I'm pretty sure that i saw a post somewhere which said that Apple released 64 bit drivers with the latest leopard install disc for the new MBP.

    Hi Fred,
    yes, Vista 64-bit is supported on some MAcs. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846

  • I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP.

    Hi, guys. I have a problem. I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP. I `ve got an error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". In Norton Ghost (DOS) drive on Promise work fine. I can`t install WINXP + SP1 on HDD on Promise controller. After pressing F6 and installing driver i `ve got an error Can`t find drive. BIOS 193 beta. Devices: IBM 120Gb 180GXP on primary master, Seagate 120 SATA 26AS on Third master. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM on secondary channel. Drivers 1.00.1.37 from ASUS and 1.00.1.29 from MSI. No result.
    And another one. Why very poor perfomance when copying large files (700Mb). When starting copying speed is 25-27Mb/sec, when finishing 5-8Mb/sec. All drives under NTFS.
    PS. Sorry for my bad english.

    That's correct  
    So if I do not misunderstand you, Windows hangs when accessing the drive?
    Is it only with this drive, then maybe it's an incompatibility between the controller and the ata electronics of the drive.
    Or maybe it's completely broken.. have you tried it on the ICH5 IDE controller?
    If it works there you should use this configuration.
    I've read about problem with some drives ... take a look into the threads on the top of this board (FAQ etc.).
    What I found out yesterday: You can use the Promise in RAID mode and define a RAID0 array with only one single drive. So you could use the Fasttrak driver from MSI, which is up to date.
    I haven't tried this solution (one disk in a RAID0 stripe configuration), but I think it should work...
    Maybe you give it a try  
    PS.: Before you switch to RAID mode, you have to change the Promise Driver... but be careful: windows won't boot with the wrong driver - your last chance would be "last known good" then...

  • HT1461 I have installed the Windows 8 on my MacBook using BootCamp, but I cannot install drivers for Windows now

    I have installed the Windows 8 on my MacBook using BootCamp already, but I cannot install drivers for Windows now: I've got only BootCamp 3 disk and it doesn't goo even if I start it using compatibility options. And my BootCamp on Mac didn't offer me to burn cd with drivers for windows as I saw in many instructions. How can I resolve the problem? Thanks a lot.

    Go back to Boot Camp: on the 2nd page you get this:
    Download the support software and as Windows is already installed uncheck the 2nd box.

  • How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

    how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

    mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
    Hello
    I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
    #pacman -Sy
    #pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
    #pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
    After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode).  Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
    #lsmod | grep -i fglrx
    If the resultant output have "fglrx" part  the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
    #cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
    Then issue
    #aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
    This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
    #telinit 3
    I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
    issue
    #gdm
    If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
    To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
    #fgl_glxgears
    If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
    #fglrxinfo
    Now the installed driver version is in the output 
    If there is any problem try following
    ##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
    yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
    sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
    Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
    ### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
    mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
    Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
    ####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf

  • Problem installing drivers on my HP Photosmart Premium C310a

    For some reason, out of the blue my printer stopped printing from the computer.  After going through the HP Troubleshooting and being told to download updated drivers, I have downloaded and tried to install drivers for my wireless C310a printer but keep getting told that the installation failed because it can't locate the C:\Users\Jeanelle\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS655A\Setup\hpqbhp01.exe
     I don't think I can use the solution provided using the cd since it is a wireless printer and never used the cd to initially set up and install the printer in the first place. I appreciate your assistance in addressing this problem.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello luvridinghorses!
    I will do my best to help you to get your printer printing again. Based on the information you have provided, the error indicates the installation is looking for a folder in your "temp" files which is where downloads go. I think you may have success using the software disc that came with the printer if you still have it.  Give it a try and if that doesn't help you, what is the operating system of the computer you are trying to install this printer on and what is the printer's IP address?
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

    Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
    You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

    thank you for helping

    Hi @GoddessDiamond,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you are trying to install drivers for your HP Officejet G85 printer on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
    Please take a look through this installation guide, Installing the Printer Driver Using the Windows 7 Built-in Solution for a USB Cable Connection.
    Otherwise, if that does not work, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, HP Officejet Basic Software and Driver, and run it using compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
    If neither of those two options work, then the last step is to try an alternative driver, please see this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. 
    Hope this information resolves your issue, and have a good day!
