[XP en SB4.1] Wil geen drivers installeren

[joh14vers6]

Ik heb zowel win98 als XP op mijn computer staan. Bij win98 geen enkel probleem met installeren van de SB 4.1, zelfs het bijprikken van de onboard Realtek vindt Win98 goed.
Bij XP heb ik hele ander koek. Met onboard sound uit in de Bios, wordt de kaart bij het opstarten herkend als creative kaart, maar wordt de instal afgebroken met de melding "gegevens fout". Instal van de drivers vanaf CDROM gaat ook niet omdat de instal software zegt geen Soundblaster kaart te vinden. Vanaf Windows de drivers installeren lukt ook niet.
De kaart wordt wel gedetecteerd door XP, maar niet door de driversoftware.
Ik had toevallig ook nog in een ander systeem SBLive! 5.1, maar deze geeft hetzelfde probleem.

Rarara hoe los ik dit op.

Dit is de oplossing gegeven door Creative:

PROBLEM: After installing a new card in a PCI slot, you get an
"invalid data"
error message and the drivers refuse to install. The card is
correctly identified by the system and the drivers found are MS
certified. Not sure why this happens, but at a guess, this problem
seems to occur when you install XP or W2K and many PCI slots are still
unused. XP and W2K for some dumb reason then appear to "protect" these
unused PCI slots by making them "READ ONLY" in the registry.

SOLUTION: After mucking around for many hours trying to reset bios
settings for PCI cards, trying to re-install XP etc, I finally came
accross the solution. Thanks to MarkS for help.

STEP 1 - Start, Run... and type "regedt32" without the quotes to run
the Registry Editor. (Regedit wont work!)

STEP 2 - Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI

STEP 3 - 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
long numerical name folder and look in RHS window for the "DeviceDesc"
which matches the hardware you are trying to install.

STEP 4 - Once you have found the right one for your problem device,
navigate back up to the VENxxx level for that device, Right Click on
the "VEN_xxxx" for that device and select 'Permissions'. You should
notice that the permissions are set to READ ONLY. Then tick "Allow"
for "Full Control".

STEP 5 - Close Regedit and then continue with the installation of your
device, ie go back to Control Panel, Add new hardware and preferably
use the wizard to try and detect the hardware again, or do it manually
and use your driver disk.

STEP 6 - The PCI hardware should install now with no problems.
