I got the following installation problem:
I have just installed and correctly updated via internet (xp2 etc.) a brand
new XP home edition in place of a previous XP professional.
Motherboard: ASRock K7NF-RAID, Realteck AC'97 audio chip integrated in the
motherboard.
Previously - with XP professional - Realtek AC'97 audio was perfectly working.
Now I am not able to install Realtek AC'97 audio. I tried all possible
drivers starting from the ASrock-CRealteck AC'97 CD to several I downloaded
from ASrock and other sites.
All the times I got the following msg:
It is impossible to load a driver for this hardware. Driver may be corrupted
or not available. (code error 39).
( in Italian: Impossibile caricare il driver di periferica per questo
hardware. Il driver potrebbe essere danneggiato o mancante. (Codice 39).
Per avviare la Risoluzione dei problemi, scegliere Risoluzione problemi.)
TKS for any help

Make sure your motherboard chipset drivers are updated.

Tks Joe727

the motherbord chipset has been updated. Error is persisting.

Today I purchased a brand new Audigy Sound Blaster Card. Before installing
the Audigy I have disabled -in the BIOS- the Realteck AC'97 Audio.

Problem is just the same and refer to the error code 39 (I do not know what
it means).

Apparently the problem is well known, but the solution is not clear at all.

Some forum are reporting the same problem (error code 39) sometime referred
to CD/DVD or Sound Cards.
Problem seem to be in the register
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l upper filter and lower
filter

By the way I was unable to identify upper and lower filter

In the following site:
http://groups.google.fr/group/micros...be83a?lnk=raot
I found a possible solution, so I tried the script I found in the following
site:

http://dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_cd_dvd_fix.htm

Unfortunately it did no work.

I am very frustrated and sad

Any other suggestion?

Download and run Everest Home Edition. It will tell you if your new audio
card is being recognized and if the RealTek audio chip is disabled. I've
been using Everest and its predecessor Aida32 for years.
