Jeff -
From another post: (Untested by me...)
"This error appears to be due to a protection problem in the Windows
registry
and can occur with a variety of drivers (sound cards and SCSI drivers have
been reported). To fix this problem, go to Start, Run... and type "regedt32"
without the quotes to run the Registry Editor. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI
and you will see a number of keys of the form "VEN_xxxx", where xxxx are
strings like "1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_04". Under each of these
folders will be another folder with a long numerical name. Open each folder
and look for the "DeviceDesc" which matches the hardware you are trying to
install. Right Click on the "VEN_xxxx" for that device and select
'Permissions' and then tick "Allow" for "Full Control". Close Regedit and
then continue with the installation of your device."

problem? the only way i can install new hardware it
seems, is to reinstall windows. if i try adding new
hardware or even uninstalling existing hardware and
reinstalling it, i get the "invalid data" error message.
your help is greatly appreciated! cheers!
