re: Question about 'Troubleshooting Driver Problems' Friday, January 4, 2002 at 9:16 pm Posted by Beecher Wood (952 messages posted) Go into Control Panel, system and delete the card. Shut down and physically remove the card. Now restart to let Windows adjust to it being gone, and then shut down again. Re-install the card. Let Windows find a driver or supply a Win2000 one. If this doesn't work get a new NIC. $25 bucks should cover it. Good Luck.

Unfortunatly, the NIC in question is built-in so I can't easily swap it out. I'm currently using a PCMCIA Ethernet card but would like to use the PCMCIA slot for something else. I was hoping for a short tutorial on working down the "Code 12" error -- i.e., how to figure out which resource the driver can't reserve and how to make that resource available. - Paul K [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Question about 'Troubleshooting Driver Problems' Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 2:51 am Posted by Dave Yale (1 messages posted) I have just upgraded to XP and have this problem with the same adaptor, reported as 'The network adaptor for this driver failed to start' and also 'failed to create device NTSPPPOE19'.

Read the inf file/install log file. Find all the files associated with both drivers extract to another folder the original install files. Find and delete all the files (inf,dll,drv,exe) associated with the driver. Restart the machine. Then when asked. Supply the intel 810/815 drivers 82xxx drivers. action tec and intel Sounds like a gateway laptop:) Good luck.

Sunday, April 13, 2003 at 11:50 am Posted by sander (1 messages posted) 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".

Your are the best man. Solved my D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100 NIC. DId as you said ...wasn't sure what to do under the "Permissions for Administrators' window....as you didn't actually state. I guessed I was to put a check mark in "Full Control". I still had the NIC installed, opened Device Manager right clicked on the icon for the NIC and clicked on "Scan for hardware changes" and before my eyes the card installed. I love the internet! I love the internet! I love the internet! God bless you man! I can now sleep! First I have to e-mail this to D-link...as their tech support couldn't help with this one.

Then when I go to use it XP tells me there is a hardware failure in the modem (error 692 ). When I go to device manager XP tells me that the device is working properly and that it is enabled. I then run query modem and it gives me an error message saying modem failed to respond. I had the card tested in another laptop and it works. Any suggestions?

In this area lies too the information of activation, and you'll have to reactivate any programs.... For sure have a secure backup of your files before....drive image is good enough, but as i said, doesnt keep the information of activations. Be patient, hardformatting goes all the night long for a 120 gigas ! A good program to use for the hardformatting is Powermax, which you'll find on the maxtor site. I used it on other brands that maxtor, an it worked, when a friend of mines lost the sound integrated on his mothercard... Every way, each manufacturer of disks seems to have a similar program to propose. And why don't try to install windows XP which is much more compatible with many things? Good luck....

If you have the disk then you have the driver. I'm not sure if I even needed to use the driver on the disk or not. Once I changed the authority and rebooted, it found the card fine and I think it was "plug and play" from there. If you DO need to install the driver, reboot then: Start --> Control panel --> System (then hardware tab) --> Device Manager. Expand the Network Adapters "tree" and Right Click on the realtec card and select "Update Driver" then click "install Software Automatically (make sure you put your disk into the drive first!)

Dell, in order to help asks for 100.00$US an hour, bastards... Any help greatly appreciated. I think it is a file corruption that contains IRQ and/or memory usage.
