invalid error when installing win-xp or after
changing component ( particulary on sound card
and scsi card )
"go to start\run\regedit , then go to the
following key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI
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.
I cannot guarantee it works for everyone, but
although I swear by it after swearing at it(XP),
it should help you if you ever had casual problem."
