This is a fix for if you ever had a "data invalid" problem that nags you while you were installing and swapping out cards with Windows XP. This error appears to be due to a protection problem in the Windows registry and can occur with a variety of drivers (sound cards and SCSI drivers have been reported). To fix this problem, go to Start, Run... and type "regedit" without the quotes to run the Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetENUMPCI and 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,
Need the name and data for the following: HKEY Current User>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Policies>Explorer> I have the "default" but not the second one for nodisk or something.
I was on my gf's computer on the control panel trying to clear unnecessary programs and I thought i was being careful enough... Well i fear i deleted an essential program on the computer and may have ruined it. I removed the Java runtime environment and each of the updates thinking it wasnt necissary. Is this a critical program? The weird thing is as i was removing parts of it it just kept saying computer must restart to complete the removal of the program, and i selected no each time.. all of the sudden the computer turned off and when rebooting it said invalid boot.ini booting from c:windows
I just reformated and installed SP2. I've tried two different thumb drives in two different USB ports, and it always tries to install the driver, and then says installation failed, and "Data Invalid". They are two different brands of USB drives too, different sizes, the only thing they have in common is that they are both thumb drives.
I tried putting the Windows CD in and telling to to reinstall and update driver from removable media, and it still doesn't work Still has "Invalid Data"
When i try to install xp sp2, I keep getting "the data is invalid. xp sp2 could not be installed" error message. I have re-installed windows and tried installing sp2 from CD, and tried the downlooad from the microsoft website, both with the same result.
I recently upgraded my OS to WinXP Pro from WinME, and there is no sound. I right-click My computer, go to properties, hardware, device manager, then there are 2 yellow circles with exclamation points in them under Multimedia Audio Controller (Intel 82801AA ac'91 Audio Controller), and Unknown Device (Microsoft MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device). I tried to reinstall them, but it says There was a problem installing this hardware: Intel 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller. An error occured during the installation of the device. The data is invalid.

Long time since I posted for help but right now I have the Windows Explorer message Winows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. in the middle of my screen It appears on boot and remains there .If I click close ,the desktop icons disappear and reappear and the message also reappears several seconds later,In those few seconds things seem to operate normally but after it appears, things on the screen just blink once when I click on them and nothing else happens. If I click something , and then click close on the message, it clears the desktop and reappears the previous click is then executed and the lockup is back .I can do things one at a time by repeating this closing process and the application on the screen does not close but reappears also
I had a bad HDD failure which corrupted part of my WinXP OS with the result that I am unable to boot into Windows. I have reloaded Windows on another HDD and I will be able to recover most of my data from backups. However, there is still some recent data on the bad disk which I am frantic to recover. I am able to find the "Documents and Settings" folder where I believe the "Outlook Express" data is held
I am unable to get into the folder as my username on the computer was passworded (the password is known). Neither am I allowed to copy the folder to my new drive. I cannot access the folder from my new OS even when I password myself with the same username / password. I have attempted to repair the bad drive's copy of Windows but that wasn't successful. I don't want to replace the bad copy with a fresh as this would reformat the drive taking with it the folder I want (and can't copy). Any work on the folder would need to be on the bad drive, it seems. I have run out of ideas.
I was wondering if someone could direct me to some very good webpages where you can learn to use Regedit. I know it is an advanced system tool and that I can render the OS useless if I tamper with it, but I really want to learn how to use it properly.
my IE home page was set by some other internet web site and unable to change it back (what a company)!! when I try to run the Regedit.exe, I got the error message "Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator" I am using windows xp home, and my user name is definatelly the administrator.
when i try to run reg edit i get this error mess.16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:windowssystem 32 egedit.co The NTVDM cpu has encountered a illegal instruction.CS:0577ip:9c3fopf0400 1004.choose close to close the programme.I have reinstalled(repiar)xp.

Everytime I try to run msconfig or registry editor, it pops up for a second and then closes immediately. They open, but close immediately so i get about a 1/2 second look.I restored my system to before this problem started -I'm running Windows XP Pro.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. It worked fine up until recently but now it doesn't work anymore.
I fix missing task manager and regedit but i don�t have boot.ini file when I started my computer but I fonud it any tutorials about modifying boot.ini file and I put code. in system startup boot loader timeout=30default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk ,i still missing stupid ini.file.
trying to run regedit from run. a black dos screen pops up and a message comes up that says "autoexec.nt missing" when i ran it again the black screen came up, went away and then nothing happened. i'm using xp
In a attempt to lock out my users from certain software....I made some lock down request using REGEDIT and now I can't use anything. I have no RUN box....I can't even open up Computer management. How do I get back into REGEDIT with no RUN box
Another day, a different computer, new baffler: A Dell Inspiron 1100 that I'm working on will not let me run the registry editor. I've tried in safe mode only to get the message "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:00cf IP:0656 OP:fe ad 06 d9 02" and I get the choices of Ignore and Close. Ignore doesn't ignore, and so I can only close. I've run AVG which found nothing. Squat. CCleaner had a lot to do but didn't fix the problem. Wanted to run Spybot but the first thing it does it download updates and this notebook won't see the network... everyday truly is a new challenge.
