But you can't install his XP disk with another "LEGITIMATE" product key, so the installation is checking if the key matches the CD being used! Therefore it has to have something to check against.

Run the Set-up again, you should get a screen asking you if you want to modify, Repair, or uninstall, and select the uninstall.

I am assuming that you are getting these errors while setting up windows!? If I am wrong just ignore this. But one of the main causes of file copy errors during set-up is mismatched RAM. I have come across a quite a few times where someone had put in extra RAM. And the simple solution was to remove one of the chips during set-up. If this works you can put back the RAM, but I would be inclined to get the correct RAM , probably another stick the same as the new one.

Hi, I have a Sound blaster Audigy Sound Card. After a new installation, I go to the updated drivers that I have downloaded from the Creative Site. I have 2 sets of updates, but if I try to use the latest one first I get a message saying I do not have a supported product. So I have to use the first Web update first. And usualy when I put on the first update I get into all sorts of trouble, with windows rebooting after just loading when the new driver has been installed, and it can take me hours to even get the machine started using safe mode and uninstalling the card, before I can get the second and latest driver update installed. I would not bother about it only it makes a huge difference to the quality of the sound from the card. Now my question? How can I put these drivers preinstalled on to my installation CD. I have it slipstreamed to Sp2 using AutoStreamer.exe. I am not very familiar on how to do this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I could then put all of my drivers on the CD and save me a lot of time installing. I have an Radeon X1300 series Graphics card A TV Card And of course my MoBo Drivers, I also have an HP Scanjet 5590 and A photosmart 7960 printer but I think I may leave these installations until after the windows installation as they have software that is used with them.
