This is the error I get when trying to install my integrated Sis Sound card:

the name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name

Any ideas what the problem is?
 
Hmmm.

Go into BIOS and enable the onboard sound support.
Boot into Windows. Start, Run, CMD
type: set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1

Go into Device Manager, View, Show Hidden Devices. Go to the Multimedia/Sound section and remove all the entries found there.

Reboot, and go back into BIOS. Disable the onboard sound device.

Restart Windows and the New Hardware Wizard should run and let you install the sound board.
