For me, the solution that Keith put forward solved the problem. Cheers!
Before reading this post, I had exactly the same problem. It persisted after changing
the ethernet card in the shop. I even bought a new card from a different manufacturer
(first Sitecom, then Kobishi, both with the RealTek8139 chipset). Same result: "The
data is invalid".
For clarity, here is the text contributed by Keith again:
------------------------------
I have found a solution to my problem so hopefully it will help others.
The windows XP error was due to my not having the rights to add the hardware, although
I was loged in as the administrator (VIP user)
To change permissions I did the following:-
Run Regedit
Start
Run
Regedit
expand; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
expand; SYSTEM
expand; CurrentControlSet
expand; Enum
highlight; PCI
right click; PCI
select; Permissions
Change the permissions and save
I was then able to re-install the Network Card drivers
Good Luck
