Hi guys I have a problem with one of my computers. I have recently formatted it and reinstalled windows xp. I now have the problem where I cannot install my network card. Whenever I try to install the drivers I get the message there was a problem installing this hardware: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC - The data is invalid. When I installed it first i just popped it in and it installed automatically and had no problems with it till i did a clean install. Now I cant get net access on my desktop.
I have tried all the steps in these links:

and still get the same error. Just wondering if any of you guys had had the same problem and how you rectified it. I have been trying for days and still no progress.
May try another fresh install but take the network card out when i do the installation then put it in later like I did when I installed it originally.
You're thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Guys!!
