My systems has the following components:

* MSI K7T266 Pro2
* AMD Athlon XP 1700+
* DIMM 256 DDRAM pc2100
* Leadtek GeForce Titanium 64 MB DDR
* Maxtor 40 GB 7200rpm
* 300 Watt power

I installed the following:

* BIOS flash (latest version)
* W2K Pro + Service Pack 2
* VIA 4in1 drivers (latest version)

When I try yo install my PCI cards 1 by 1, I get the following error:

"An error occured during the installation of this device. The data is corrupt."

The drivers are the latest and the PCI cards work in my other W2K system (without SP2):

* Realtek 8139C Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps
* Alcatel Speedtouch PC ADSL
* Soundblaster
* ...

When I boot the system, the cards get an IRQ from the BIOS:

Slot 4 Ethernet IRQ 10

The PCI cards don't have a tab 'Sources' in Device Manager. And it says the driver isn't installed (although W2K detects the right driver and tries to install it).

I found the following info on this in the W2K help files:

"If the tab 'Sources' isn't shown, then there aren't used any sources for this device. Ask the company of the device if there's a hardware conflict."

This devices DO work on my other W2K system.

Can somebody please help me with this. Thanks alot!
