I recently purchased an MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Motherboard and am running Windows 2000, including the service packs.. XP 1900 on board.
I cannot get the PCI bus to work, including the floppy drive. Everything else works well.
I have tried installing four cards, individually, together and in different slots. These cards work in my old system, which is also running Windows 2000.
The 1st card is a TV, video capture card (LifeView, Fly3000video). When installing the driver, I get a "code 1" error message and a report saying "data is invalid".
The 2nd card is a Matrox Millenium G200 PCI video card ( I want to run a 2nd monitor). I receive the same error message as above.
The 3rd card is a firewire controller and guess what? Yup, the same message!
The 4th card, a 10/100 ethernet, installs OK!!! but I don't know if it works. At least not untill I replace my broken laptop.
Device manager reports the devices to be configured incorrectly but will not install any drivers. Always the same "code 1" error. BIOS and Device Manager both report OK for the floppy drive but I am continually prompted to insert a disk...and I have tried several.
MSI utilites from the M/B drivers disk report everything OK and indicate when a slot is in use, as do various other reporting utilities I have.
I tried removing the AGP video card (Leadtek G4 MX440), suitably modified the BIOS and booted with just the Matrox video card. The card worked in base resolution (800x600) but again was unable to install any drivers, always getting the same message mentioned earlier.
I have reformatted the hard drive and done a fresh Windows install but the problem remains.
Anyone know what a "code 1" error is? Is the motherboard faulty, is it a software problem, am I the problem?
Regards,
Ron.
