Hello! I need to post this problem because i found out that many users out
there like me have this problem that says "THE DATA IS INVALID" after
installing or reinstalling driver. This topic refers to add-on cards such as
video card, sound card, capture card, usb card, etc. Specifically mine is
video capture card (hauppage wintv-hvr 1250).
This is what I have done so far:
1) Downloaded the latest driver from the vendor and reinstalled
unsuccessfully. They even have the solution for the exact problem I have
which is changing permission in the registry -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.......ENUM\PCI. This is useful to some but not to
me and to some.
2) I have tried a different motherboard with same harddrive (luckily, it
booted fine) and showed same problem. Drivers won't finish installing.
3) I tried another video capture card of a different brand and showed the
same problem. Also tried on different PCI slot with no luck.
4) Updated chipsets and BIOS, and retried again things mentioned above.
5) I tried resetting the permissions to default state in the entire registry
and tried reintalling driver again without success.
It seems that the problem lies in my machine, probably in the registry
because some users tried REFORMATING AND REINSTALLING their Windows XP
machine, reinstalled the driver and works. But this solution is not the real
solution. So if anyone out there has a real solution or advice, please post
it, and I thank you in advance.
